Aris’ academic interests are in the areas of pharmaceutical policy, health technology assessment (HTA), and drug regulation, with a lot of his work focusing on methodological research around the evaluation of new medical technologies. At LSHTM, Aris is leading the development of a research programme for assessing the value of new oncology products at an early stage by applying decision analytic modelling techniques, while collaborating with the Center for Health Policy & Outcomes at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
