Biography

Dr. Mohsen Sadatsafavi is an associate professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC)’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and holds affiliations with the Centre for Heart Lung Innovation, the Division of Respiratory Medicine and the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation at UBC. He received his Doctor of Philosophy in epidemiology and health outcomes from UBC in 2012.

Dr. Sadatsafavi’s research interests include epidemiology with a focus on decision analysis, at both clinical and policy levels, as well as on advancing epidemiological methods. He is involved in various studies in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), especially on developing and validating prediction models, cost-effectiveness modelling of emerging health technologies, and using the provincial, national and international health administrative databases to measure burden of diseases.
