Professor Patrick Bossuyt

Patrick M. Bossuyt is professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers, where he leads the Biomarker and Test Evaluation research program. The BiTE program aims to appraise and develop methods for evaluating medical tests and biomarkers, with an emphasis on clinical performance, and to apply these methods in relevant clinical studies. In doing so, the program wants to strengthen the evidence base for rational decision-making about the use of tests and testing strategies in health care. Dr Bossuyt spearheaded the STARD initiative for the improved reporting of diagnostic test accuracy studies.
