Academic Interests

Current research interests:  Knowledge translation research and medical informatics, focused on assessment of impact of knowledge dissemination through information technology and web-based systems. Systematic review methodology, particularly applied to individual patient databases and prognostic questions.

Clinical interests: thrombosis and haemostasis, particularly recurrent VTE and epidemiology of hemophilias.

Dr Iorio is currently accepting Graduate Students.
