Biography
Mira G.P. Zuidgeest, PhD PharmD, Epidemiologist works as associate professor at the Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, department Epidemiology and Global Health. Trained both as a pharmacist and epidemiologist and with a PhD in pharmacoepidemiology in the field of paediatric asthma, her current work focuses on clinical trial innovation, both methodological and operational.
As core member of the GetReal Institute, her work focusses on randomised clinical trials integrated into routine clinical practice (also called pragmatic trials) and the methodological and operational consequences of introducing real world elements in trial design, for which she led the development of a decision-support tool (www.getrealtrialtool.eu).
As overall scientific lead and WP3 lead for the IMI Trials@Home project (www.trialsathome.com), she looks into the possibilities of centring trials around patients rather than clinical sites by use of innovative technologies (so called Decentralised Clinical Trials).
