Peter Doshi is interested in areas where medicine, politics, law, and journalism intersect, especially in the field of public health. Within this field, Doshi is fascinated by debates over causality, standards of evidence, and how to handle scientific uncertainty. Doshi's research fits within a larger discourse on the way globalization confronts cherished democratic values such as free choice, freedom of movement, and national sovereignty. Doshi aims to make the effects of centralized approaches to global health more visible, as well as highlight diversity in science, underscoring the importance of retaining skepticism, debate, and rigor in medical and scientific debates.
