Dr Farhad Shokraneh has 20 years of experience and a PhD in Evidence Synthesis. He joined IDDO in October 2023 as Evidence Synthesis Manager.
Previously, he has worked at the University of Nottingham, King's College London, University College London, UCLH, and Cambridge University in similar roles. He has led teams to deliver projects to clients such as WHO, UN, UNICEF, FDA, UK NIHR, Cochrane, AWMF, and NICE.
As a passionate methodologist and change maker, Farhad is a co-author of the Cochrane Handbook, an editor of Systematic Reviews journal and has designed the first and most sensitive search strategy for COVID-19 literature and the first living search strategy and coined concepts such as 'Search-Resistant Concepts', 'Search Pyramid', 'Living Search Strategy', and 'Iterative Systematic Reviews'.
