Biography
editMoher grew up in Dublin, Ireland, where he had undiagnosed dyslexia while in elementary school. This prevented him from learning to read and write until he was thirteen.[3] He received his BSW from St Mary's College, Dublin in 1980, his B.A. in psychology from Queen's University in 1983, and his M.Sc. from Queen's University in 1986. In 2004, he received his Ph.D. in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics from the University of Amsterdam. He became an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine at the University of Ottawa in 2004, and was named a University Research Chair there in 2006. He has been a senior scientist in the Knowledge Synthesis Group at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute since 2008, and the co-editor-in-chief of Systematic Reviews since 2011.[7]
