Freelance Medical Researcher & Data Analyst | Expert in Systematic Reviews, R & SPSS

Profile Summary

I have experience conducting systematic reviews throughout all stages of the process, including protocol development, study screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, and meta-analysis using RevMan and R. In addition, I have worked extensively with large healthcare databases, particularly in the field of perioperative medicine. I have also been involved in clinical trials and prospective cohort studies across all stages of research, from study design and protocol development to participant recruitment, data collection, study coordination, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. Through these projects, I have developed strong skills in scientific writing and have contributed to the publication of manuscripts in reputable peer-reviewed journals.
