2. Do you have any other competing interests that could pose a conflict of interest that would reasonably appear to be related to the primary interest?
Yes - I am strong believer in rigorous IPD and aggregate data meta-analysis, and do research that aims to improve the related methods. I have particular interest in developing and applying methods to ensure timely, reliable and thorough aggregate data meta-analysis and to maximise the value and reduce bias in IPD meta-analysis.
