Mauricia Davidson

Post-doctoral researcher

I am a post-doctoral research fellow with a keen interest in epidemiology, research methodology and interdisciplinary science. I have strong knowledge of evidence synthesis, particularly (living) systematic reviews such as the COVID-NMA Initiative. I am investigating the integration of various types of information in living systematic reviews, focusing on preprints, post-publication peer review, clinical trial registries and observational studies.
