Biography
Mira G.P. Zuidgeest, PhD PharmD, Epidemiologist works as assistant professor at the Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, sub-department 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. Mira has previously worked in healthcare, in hospital pharmacy and did a post-doc in Brazil for which she obtained a scholarship from the CNPq (National Counsel of Technological and Scientific Development).
Mira is core team member and scientific taskforce lead in the IMI GetReal Initiative, where her focus over the last 6 years has been 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 has co-developed a decision-support tool (www.getrealtrialtool.eu).
She is also overall scientific coordinator, together with Rick Grobbee, and WP3 lead for the IMI Trials@Home project (www.trialsathome.com), which aims to reshape clinical trial design, conduct and operations, by developing and piloting standards, recommendations and tools for the definition and operationalisation of remote decentralised clinical trials in Europe.
