Research
Maximilian’s research interests include real world evidence, evidence synthesis, study design, decision-making at the patient and population levels and economic evaluation. He works on the FP7-funded CARDIOPROOF project, reviewing and summarising the evidence base for interventions in congenital heart disease, evaluating the potential for cost savings in this disease area, and assessing the potential of novel image-based simulation modelling tools to impact on clinical decision-making. He is also part of a research team collaborating with St George's Hospital to assess the cost-effectiveness of routine pre-participation screening of athletes in the UK.
Maximilian’s PhD research focuses on real world evidence and its role in regulatory decision-making in comparison to evidence from randomised controlled trials.
