Speaker Biographies

Hans Lund is Professor at Centre for Evidence-Based Practice at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences in Bergen, Norway. After 10 years working with rehabilitation of elderly and teaching Hans Lund got involved in promoting and teaching Evidence-Based Practice. Following his PhD his research focus was rehabilitation (focus on physical exercise) of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis simultaneously with editing and authoring textbooks in physiotherapy, rehabilitation and evidence-based practice among others. During those years, he was founder and chairman of The Danish Society for Research in Physiotherapy.

In 2007 Hans Lund was employed as Director of Studies of a multidisciplinary Master program in rehabilitation at University of Southern Denmark. Shortly after, he established the first Master program in Physiotherapy in Denmark with the aim of creating a solid foundation for an evidence-based physiotherapy practice and better possibilities for Danish physiotherapists to achieve a PhD.

After being affiliated to Bergen in 2013, he initiated the creation of the Evidence-Based Research Network (EBRNetwork, see http://ebrnetwork.org/). The EBRNetwork aims to promote “No new research studies without prior systematic review of existing evidence” and an “Efficient production, updating, and accessibility of systematic reviews”. Just recently, the EBRNetwork was approved support from the European Union (A COST Action, see http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ca/CA17117) to establish an International Network for Evidence-based Research in Clinical Health Research.

 

Carsten Juhl is Associate Professor at the Research Unit for Musculoskeletal Function and Physiotherapy and head of the Master Program at the University of Southern Denmark. Further he is employed as senior researcher at Copenhagen University Hospital, Herlev and Gentofte. He has been promoting Evidence-Based Practice since 2001. After finishing his Ph.D., he has performed systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the treatment in patients with musculoskeletal disorder and meta-epidemiologic studies investigating impact of bias and choice of outcome. He has performed clinical studies in Low back pain, Chronic obstructive lung disease and osteoarthritis. He is an editor at the Cochrane Osteoarthritis satellite and has been teaching in systematic reviews and meta-analysis on a Ph.D. level for several years and supervising Ph.D. students in performing systematic review and meta-analysis

Alessio Bricca is an exercise physiologist passionate about evidence-synthesis research. Alessio obtained a PhD in Health Sciences from University of Southern Denmark in May 2018, within a project which showed that exercise does not harm knee joint cartilage, contrary to the common belief of people with, and health professionals treating, knee osteoarthritis. The method of choice of this project was systematic review of pre-clinical and clinical randomised controlled trials. After his PhD Alessio worked for one year at University of Aberdeen, in Scotland as Research Fellow on a systematic review project which aimed to improve the design, conduct and reporting of behavioural randomised controlled trials of smoking cessation interventions. Alessio’s work focused on performing meta-regression analyses to identify predictors of recruitment and attrition rates. Alessio is currently working as a Postdoc at University of Southern Denmark on a the MOBILIZE project, investigating the effect of exercise therapy in people with multimorbidity.  Alessio’s work focuses on performing systematic review in preparation for a randomised controlled trial.
