Tea Logar earned her Ph.D. in philosophy from Georgetown University, Washington D.C., in July 2009. In the years 2003-2008 she worked as a teaching assistant and instructor at the Philosophy Department of Georgetown University, where she taught courses in philosophy, ethics, and bioethics. In her doctoral dissertation, entitled Exploitation in Personal Relationships: From Consenting to Caring, she analyzed the concept of wrongful use in personal and intimate relationships, and she explores the topic further in her book, published in May 2012 by Krtina Publishing House, entitled People as Means: Exploitation in Personal Relationships.
She now lives in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where she continues to research various topics in bioethics, reproductive ethics, and neuroethics. After returning to Slovenia, she is especially involved in ethical issues regarding medical and cognitive enhancement and reproductive technologies. Her goal is to bring her experience in bioethics to Slovenia, where she wishes to promote awareness and public discussion regarding ethical issues in health care, reproduction, and ethical use of modern biotechnologies.

Tea Logar je julija 2009 doktorirala iz filozofije na univerzi Georgetown v Washingtonu D.C., kjer je na oddelku za filozofijo v letih 2003-2008 učila kot asistentka in samostojna izvajalka predmetov s področij filozofije, etike in bioetike. V doktorski nalogi z naslovom Exploitation in Personal Relationships: From Consenting to Caring je analizirala koncept izkoriščanja v osebnih odnosih, temo pa je še podrobneje razdelala v knjigi Ljudje kot sredstva: Izkoriščanje v osebnih odnosih, ki je maja 2012 izšla pri založbi Krtina.
Sedaj živi v Ljubljani, kjer raziskuje različne teme s področij bioetike in nevroetike. Po vrnitvi v Slovenijo se ukvarja predvsem s temami iz etike, povezanimi z medicinskim in kognitivnim izboljševanjem (“enhancement”) ter reprodukcijskimi tehnologijami. Njen cilj je prenesti svoje izkušnje s področja bioetike v Slovenijo, kjer želi dvigniti zavest in spodbuditi javno razpravo v zvezi z etičnimi vprašanji na področjih zdravstva, reprodukcije in etične rabe biomedicinskih tehnologij.
