Dr Sarah McCann
QUEST Center for Responsible Research
CHARITE UNIVERSITATSMEDIZIN BERLIN
I am the Research Group Leader of CAMARADES Berlin at the QUEST Center for Responsible Research, Berlin Institute of Health at Charité. I have a background in neuroscience and preclinical stroke studies, which informs my current focus of improving the quality and reproducibility of preclinical research and supporting the translational research process. My group’s research is concentrated on applying meta-research techniques to assess the external validity of experimental models of human disease, evaluating systematic review and meta-analysis as methodological tools in the research pipeline, and fostering an open, community-driven approach to evidence synthesis in preclinical research. As convenor of the international CAMARADES network, I head a growing group of world-leading preclinical meta-research scientists working to bring evidence to translational medicine. WPs: 2 (co-lead), 6, 7 (co-coordinator).

Emily Sena holds a personal chair in Meta-science and Translational Medicine. She is specialised in the validity of preclinical research and a passionate advocate for open science. Her research interests are in the use of meta-research approaches (research on research) to drive improvements in the validity, transparency, reporting and reproducibility of primary research using laboratory models of human diseases. Her work has informed laboratory practice guidelines, editorial policy and clinical trials design. Emily also co-founded and was co-convenor of the Edinburgh Race Equality Network, and now convenes the University of Edinburgh Race Equality and Anti-Racist Sub-Committee. In iRISE, she is the co-coordinator (WP7) and WP2 lead and will work in WP3 and WP6.
