Yusuf, Salim

About Me


Salim Yusuf is a Professor of Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster University and Director of the Population Health Research Institute. As a Rhodes Scholar, he initiated the concept of large simple trials, coordinating the first ISIS trial and developing concepts of meta-analysis. Subsequently, he has applied these principles to several other areas that led to the SOLVD and DIG trials in heart failure while at the US NIH, and more recently the HOPE, OASIS, CURE and CREATE trials since his move to McMaster University, Canada. He holds a Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario Research Chair, is a senior Scientist of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and has received several national and international awards for research. His recent interests include societal, biologic and genetic determinants of population health in developing populations, and his studies involve over 66 countries in all the inhabited continents of the world. Dr. Yusuf has received the Lifetime Research Achievement award of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, the 2001 Prix Galien Canada Research Award, the Lucian Award for Cardiovascular Research 2002, the Paul Wood Silver Medal of the British Cardiac Society 2003, and Fellowship in the Royal Society of Canada (2005) in addition to over 20 other international and national awards for research.
