Responsibilities include drafting technical evidence briefs, developing and registering systematic review protocols on PROSPERO, conducting comprehensive literature screening, performing complex statistical meta-analyses (random-effects modeling, meta-regression, network meta-analyses) using R and STATA, drafting high-impact manuscripts, and organizing national-level workshops on evidence synthesis and guideline development.
