Bio
Lorenzo Moja is a clinical epidemiologist. His principal research interest involves knowledge transfer, namely, the development and evaluation of interventions aimed to facilitate the movement of science into clinical practice and health policy in order to ensure optimal payback from health care and research investments. He has conducted numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, including Cochrane reviews, of medical interventions across diverse medical specialties, including orthopaedics, physiotherapy, neurology, oncology, preventive and palliative medicine. He has also led knowledge transfer programs to evaluate point-of-care services (e.g. Clinical Evidence, UpToDate and Dynamed) for their editorial and evidence-based quality, and to disseminate evidence adopting new media technologies such as e-learning, point-of-care services, and computerized clinical decision support systems linked to electronic health records.
