David van Klaveren is an assistant professor in the Department of Public Health at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. His career ambition is to empower Precision Medicine—tailoring medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient, resulting in better health outcomes and cost savings. To achieve this, he improves the derivation and validation of prediction models that guide individualized decisions on treatment and prevention. With a strong mathematical background, he has developed and will continue to develop new guidance on modeling techniques, model performance measures, and data usage. He received the Young Investigator Award from the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology in 2015 and earned a cum laude PhD degree from Erasmus MC in 2017. Before returning to Erasmus MC, he was an assistant professor in the Biomedical Data Sciences department at LUMC.
