About
I am a Senior Scientist, Professor, Epidemiologist, Pharmacoepidemiologist, and Health Economist with deep experience in real world evidence, population health, and policy-focused research.
MAKING HEALTHCARE DECISIONS CLEAR
My work transforms complex health data into clear, meaningful insights to support better evidence-based decision-making. I work with people to help them identify what matters to them, understand their options, and make informed choices based on evidence and context. My areas of focus include clinical and population-based epidemiology, health economics, medication safety and effectiveness, health system performance, and the social and economic factors that influence health outcomes.PROFILE
