I am an all-round epidemiologist with a background in health sciences and a keen interest in evidence-based health care and international collaboration. Previously I worked for the Dutch National Health Care Institute and Cochrane Netherlands. Currently I am assistant professor and principal investigator at the department of Epidemiology and Data Science of the Amsterdam Medical Centers (University of Amsterdam).
The focus of my research and teaching is evidence synthesis methodology, in particular guideline development, implementation and quality improvement. One of the key aspects of my work as methodologist is collaboration with health care professionals and policy makers and translating evidence into practice. My research line covers a broad spectrum of projects: from developing core outcome sets and risk of bias instruments to evaluation of guideline implementation and development of methodological frameworks.
As methodologist I have been involved in numerous guidelines on a variety of topics, for example for WHO and the European Commission. I am a board member of the GRADE working group, co-chair of the Dutch GRADE network, an active member of Cochrane and steering group member of the newly established Dutch Guidelines Network (RNN). I am an instructor in the INGUIDE program.
My mission is to improve quality of care by developing, evaluating and implementing guideline methods with the aim to establish high quality, sustainable, context-relevant and impactful guidelines.
