Research interests
As a physician researcher, my main research focus is to evaluate medical interventions in clinical practice witn a focus on critical care, intensive care and emergency medicine. The research includes design, conduct and analysis of applied meta-analysis, randomised studies, observational studies and database projects, often in collaboration with other research groups. My focus of methods research is on clinical research synthesis including search strategies for meta-analysis, representativeness of meta-analytical effects, and statistical issues in data synthesis. I have long-standing activities within the Cochrane Collaboration and experience in regulatory aspects of clinical research from an appointment to the Pharmacovigilance and Risk Assessment Committee at the European Medicines Agency.
