Bio:
Joshua D. Wallach, PhD, MS, is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health. He earned both his PhD and MS in Epidemiology and Clinical Research from Stanford University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University as part of the Collaboration for Research Integrity and Transparency, an interdisciplinary initiative between the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Law. Prior to joining Emory, Dr. Wallach served as a faculty member at the Yale School of Public Health for four years.

 

Dr. Wallach’s research focuses on using a wide range of methodologies and data sources to evaluate the role of evidence in policy decision-making and in the development, regulation, and utilization of medical products. His methodological expertise encompasses evidence synthesis and evaluation, including conducting systematic reviews, meta-analyses, next-generation reviews, and meta-research studies. Currently, he is a core faculty member of the Collaboration for Regulatory Rigor, Integrity, and Transparency (CRRIT), where he mentors students on research that informs policies to strengthen evidentiary standards for novel therapeutics. Additionally, Dr. Wallach is part of the leadership team of the Yale Open Data Access (YODA) Project and serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
