Nigel Hughes is the Scientific Director of Real World Evidence at Janssen Clinical Innovation. He collaborates with the EFPIA Digital Strategic Governing Group, and he is also co-lead of Big Data for Better Outcome’s €30 million flagship consortium, the European Health Data & Evidence Network, or EHDEN. Janssen and Nigel have long been at the forefront of developing the needed tools and infrastructure to harness health data, both through their involvement with previous IMI projects such as EMIF and EHR4CR, as well as supporting open source data sharing platforms such as OMOP and OHDSI. Nigel brings his decades of experience in nursing and directing NGOs in AIDS and Hepatitis C to IMI's EHDEN. His unique perspective on the need for global collaboration to address societal challenges like Alzheimer's disease is well-reasoned and refreshing in today's fractured and divisive political climate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
