EDPs in Ukraine

HTA is included in the Ukrainian Health Law fundamentals and became mandatory by 2020. SAFEMed has been supporting the Ministry of Health to integrate HTA into the decision-making ecosystem and continuous capacity development in HTA. We are collaborating with SAFEMed during 2022-2023 to:

  • create a model curriculum for an HTA master’s program, including EDPs, to be implemented in Ukraine;
  • review the capacity and requirements of the existing academic centres globally;
  • develop a list of minimum criteria for academic centres to deliver a successful HTA program;
  • perform a training needs assessment of users and doers of HTA via an online survey that captured level of experience and knowledge gaps;
  • develop a 20-weeks training program for users, doers and trainers based on the needs assessment; and
  • conduct and evaluate the online HTA training program for about 65 users, doers and trainers in Ukraine.

Research Research groups

Where experience meets talent

By working in groups, we accelerate the development of knowledge and its implementation. Each group is led by an experienced group leader, who ensures the direction, focus and sustainable development of the group and the well-being and professional development of its members. The specialized knowledge is applied in one or more research programs.

Our research groups

Addiction psychiatry

Arnt Schellekens's research group aims to reduce the tremendous burden of addictive disorders through translational research, linking basic science with clinical practice. The group focuses on disentangling clinical heterogeneity, in order to develop personalized addiction treatment strategies.

Advanced x-ray imaging methods

Ioannis Sechopoulos's research group specializes in research on novel image acquisition, processing and analysis in diagnostic x-ray based imaging, particularly for breast and body computed tomography.

Affordability and accessibility of care

Bram Wouterse's research group investigates how to make health care systems sustainable, from a financial, work force, societal, and environmental perspective. We do so in collaboration with policymakers and by combining evidence at the individual and local level.

AI for precision medicine

Francesco Ciompi's research group focuses on precision medicine, investigating and developing artificial intelligence models to better understand diseases, discover novel biomarkers, and help physicians to improve their routine diagnostics and select the right treatments to help patients.

AI in thoracic oncology

Colin Jacobs's research group investigates how to develop robust and trustworthy artificial intelligence algorithms for medical imaging in the field of lung cancer, how to validate these algorithms in clinical practice, and how we can have the most impact with AI in healthcare.

Pages in development

We are in the process of creating a web page for each research group. Over the next few months, this overview will be completed.
