\n[vc_row animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”662″ img_size=”200×200″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”]Petros Pechlivanoglou<\/strong>, PhD, is a senior Scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children\u2019s Research Institute and an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto\u2019s Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation. After studying economics in his native Greece, he received both a Master\u2019s in econometrics and a PhD in health econometrics from the University of Groningen. His research interests include: the use of health decision analysis in economic evaluation; bridging evidence synthesis, administrative data and decision analysis; and the application and extension of predictive models in health economics. In his spare time, he enjoys playing and performing traditional Greek music and explaining to people how to pronounce his last name.<\/p>\n

She completed her PhD in Statistics at Queen\u2019s University Belfast (QUB) in June 2025, where she developed a decision model to evaluate bowel cancer screening strategies. She also completed her MSc in Mathematics and Statistics & Operational Research at QUB in July 2021. Her current research investigates how drug-pricing fluctuations impact value-of-information methods. Outside of work, she enjoys long walks, Pilates, and reading.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”731″ img_size=”200×200″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”]Giancarlo Di Giuseppe<\/strong> earned his MPH and PhD in epidemiology from the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. Dr. Di Giuseppe\u2019s dissertation focused on understanding the economic consequences and financial toxicities of cancer in adolescents and young adults. He recently joined the Hospital for Sick Children as a postdoctoral research fellow. Dr. Di Giuseppe\u2019s research uses population-based administrative data to evaluate the longitudinal socioeconomic impact of cancer on patients and their families.\u00a0 He is also interested in applying causal inference methods to health technology assessment, in order to inform individual- and policy-level interventions that reduce the financial hardship experienced by cancer survivors.<\/p>\n
