I led the WHO’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (http://www.who.int/ictrp) in 2005-6, and established global data and policy standards for trial registration to improve the transparency of clinical trial data reporting. That’s still a strong underlying principle of my work – high-quality, open, and useful clinical research of real people in real life to improve health.
