I am a molecular biologist (MSciBiol) specializing in Biostatistics and Experimental Statistics (MD), Medical Statistics (MSc), and Bioinformatics (MSc) with extensive experience in data analysis. My research interest mainly focuses on studying molecular mechanisms and risk factors behind the onset and development of complex diseases by using advanced statistical and computational methodologies to obtain information from data. I am particularly interested in meta-analyses and network meta-analyses of individual participant data from randomised clinical trials (Bayesian and frequentist approach), systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational studies, and umbrella reviews. I enjoy data management and analysis, and I love advanced statistical modeling in all its more complex aspects. Animal behavior and communication is my second research interest, mainly developed for a personal interest. I have a sound knowledge of the most updated analysis techniques used in Statistics and Data Science and an excellent capability to analyse data with different levels of complexity from various research fields. Since April 2022, I have become a member of the Cochrane Collaboration. I am a reviewer for several journals (medical and zoological).
