Can you maybe start with an introduction of yourself? In the pre-chat, we found that we have the same kind of origins in pure mathematics, but where did you go from your studies?

From my studies, yeah, so I left these pure theoretical mathematics to touch on computer science and then discovered statistics, which fascinated me because they try to describe the world by using measurements.

And I was first working in different actually areas outside of healthcare when I discovered epidemiology.

So after my PhD in applied statistics, I moved into the field of epidemiology and was really fascinated about data that are already collected or that we are collecting to understand what is happening in clinical practice and try to get some meaning out of that or guidances out of that, especially when questions are geographically very diverse and wide.

And from there, so I spent some time in academia.

I spent some time in public health.

So I worked, uh, in the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health when a really great invitation from Novartis to join their biostatistics department came.

How do they inform the integrated evidence plan?
