Background
- Studies the comparative effectiveness and safety of biopharmaceuticals and develops methods to reach causal conclusions from analyzing complex healthcare databases. Focuses on newly marketed medications and how real-world evidence can be generated expeditiously at highest quality without compromising the accuracy of findings. Applies data-adaptive algorithms to large healthcare databases to improve confounding control supporting causal inference and calibrates RWE against randomized trials. Disease areas of interest include cardiovascular, antithrombotic therapy, rheumatology, mental health, dermatology, oncology, and others. Teaches courses in principled database analytics in pharmacoepidemiology at Harvard and in Europe.
