Hello!

My name is Iain Marshall. I’m a GP/family physician in south London, and MRC fellow in health informatics based at King’s College London, in the School of Population Health and Environmental Sciences. I am particularly intereted in making health evidence easier to use (through better design) and more efficient (with computers!).

Research overview

My research is around evidence based medicine and research synthesis, and specifically how to help patients and doctors make most efficient use of the health research. I gained my PhD in Public Health from King’s in 2016, with a thesis on the topic of ‘Evidence based medicine and the patient’.

I am the co-lead of the RobotReviewer project, together with Byron Wallace at Northeastern, Boston. RobotReviewer is an artificial intelligence (AI) system which automatically extracts useful data from clinical trial reports, including on biases, study design, and characteristics of the population, interventions, and outcomes (the PICO). We also produce RobotSearch, which is a state-of-the-art AI system for automatically finding RCTs.
