Current Research and Scholarly Interests Clinical research aims to produce knowledge that patients and doctors can use to decide on treatments. Unfortunately, it is likely that a high proportion of research is not useful, or may even provide false findings, a problem defined as research waste. The work I'm doing at the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford is focussing on research waste reduction where I will use prevention of preterm birth as the specific example how to evaluate current effectiveness and value of research.

Orestis Vardoulis
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pediatric Surgery
Bio Dr. Orestis Vardoulis is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Stanford School of Medicine (department of Pediatric Surgery). Orestis completed his studies in Mechanical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece and received his PhD in Biotechnology and Bioengieneering at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. During his doctoral research, Orestis worked extensively with non invasive methods for hemodynamic monitoring and during his PostDoctroal research he developed flexible electronics for health monitoring. Orestis is an alumnus of the Stanford Biodesign Fellowship program where he conducted extensive research in identifying unmet clinical needs and validated medical technology projects from concept to product. Currently, Orestis works with the Pediatric Health Technology Incubator Laboratory, focusing on clinical needs around umbilical vein catheterization for neonates. In parallel he contributes to the activities of the UCSF - Stanford pediatric device consortium where he coordinates early stage support. Orestis also contributes to the Stanford Wearable Electronics Initiative where he co-founded the affiliated eWear Student and PostDoc association.
