I am a full professor with a joint appointment in the Departments of Medicine and Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health. I am a practicing cardiologist with research interests in cardiovascular epidemiology. Specific research interest are in drug safety (pharmacoepidemiology), systematic reviews, health technology assessment (cost-effectiveness), and Bayesian approaches to clinical decision making.
