Michael Schlussel

BSc, MSc, PhD

Senior Medical Statistician

Working to strengthen health research integrity

I work to increase research integrity in health research by promoting practices for reproducible and open science (PROS). I am interested in metascience on research PROS and teaching topics on study design, conduct, data analysis, and research reporting.

I work with prediction models' development, evaluation and validation. I conduct literature reviews and meta-analyses on a wide range of medical subjects. I develop and promote reporting guidelines for health research. I teach at NDORMS' MSc and DPhil modules and various short courses offered by the EQUATOR Network and the Centre for Statistics in Medicine.

I graduated with a BSc in Nutrition from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2003. I started my academic journey with an MSc (2006) in Nutrition Sciences and a PhD (2010) in Human Nutrition at the same institution, both focused on Epidemiology with strong Statistics components.

My research background includes extensive experience with randomised controlled trials, and collaborations with several universities and research centres, particularly analysing the data from large population-based epidemiological studies to identify determinants of chronic diseases.

I am currently leading a research programme to produce developments focused on nutritional interventions for the CONSORT, SPIRIT and PRISMA statements.

I am a member of the NIHR Invention for Innovation Committee and one of the Scientific Integrity & Reproducibility Editors for the Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare.
