AboutAbout the lab
Making sense of healthcare data through epidemiology and economics
The Clinical Epidemiology and Economics Lab studies clinical epidemiology and health economics.
Clinical epidemiology applies epidemiological methods to problems that arise in clinical practice, and it provides the foundation for practicing evidence-based medicine (EBM).
In health economics, the lab considers how healthcare resources should best be allocated across society.
Drawing on analytical methods from two different backgrounds, epidemiology and economics, the lab conducts research and education based on empirical data.
