   1. Ordained priest in 2009, Father Jean Boboc in a Frenchman of Romanian origin. He holds a PhD in medicine from the Faculty of Medicine in Paris and different medical specialties (in particular of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology). He shared his professional life between practicing and applied research. He holds also an MBA in Business Administration and has led various pharmaceutical firms as President, particularly in the United States and Canada, which has familiarized him with the ethical problems of medical research.

      Father Jean Boboc led an active life in France and North America. He was the founding President of AFDOR (Association of French People of Romanian Origin) and BRP (Romanian Library of Paris), associations particularly useful during the Cold War. He gave many conferences on both sides of the Atlantic, on the Romanian historical situation and in particular on the question of the territories of Bessarabia and Bukovina, annexed by the Soviet Union and still occupied or annexed. He has also written numerous articles on this subject and has participated in collective works dealing with these questions.

      A former disciple of Mircea Eliade (1907-1986: Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago), Father J. Boboc, in parallel with his medical studies, studied history and theology of religions  at the Catholic Institute of Paris.

      Returning from U.S., he joined the Saint Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in Orthodox theology, and where he supported a doctoral thesis in 2013 on the eschatological aspects of Orthodox anthropology.

      Co-translator of Father’s Dumitru Staniloae theological work, Father J. Boboc focuses his teaching and writings on the spiritual and eschatological anthropology and their impact on the life sciences, and thus on the burning questions of current bioethics. He is the Dean of the Orthodox Centre for Studies and Reseacrh Dumitru Stanilaoe and head of the Anthropology, Ethics and Life sciences Department within the Centre.

      His multidisciplinary training leads Father J. Boboc to an approach to anthropological and bioethical problems through the prism of transdisciplinarity.
