Overview
Dr. Doroski currently serves as a professor of biology and engineering. He received his doctorate in biomedical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and currently teaches freshman biology, developmental biology, and rigid body dynamics. Dr. Doroski’s experimental research is focused on stem cell delivery and tissue engineering and has been published in scientific journals such as Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering, and PLOS One. He is a regular speaker on IVF, stem cells and other bioethical topics. Dr. Doroski’s analysis demonstrating how Humanae vitae has advanced reproductive healthcare contributed to the book Why Humanae Vitae Is Still Right, which was edited by Janet Smith. He has also written and spoken on the dominance of adult stem cells in clinical trials, how to understand when organisms begin from a biological perspective, and what the biological data says about the metaphysics of embryo fusion. His work has been presented at conferences on Bioethics and the Philosophy of Medicine and published in journals such as the Linacre Quarterly, the journal of the Catholic Medical Association, and Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics.
