In 2004, he received his Ph.D. in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics from the University of Amsterdam. He became an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine at the University of Ottawa in 2004, and was named a University Research Chair there in 2006. He has been a senior scientist in the Knowledge Synthesis Group at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute since 2008, and the co-editor-in-chief of Systematic Reviews since 2011.[7]
