Huseyin serves as Co-Director of LSE’s Executive M.Sc. program in Health Economics, Outcomes and Management in Clinical Sciences. He is also one of the Deputy Directors of LSE Health.

Huseyin’s research evaluates the quantity and quality of the evidence base underpinning the approval, adoption, reimbursement, and use of new pharmaceutical products in Europe and the US. His recent work on pharmaceutical policy was funded by the Health Foundation. His research has appeared in leading medical and health policy journals, including JAMAThe LancetThe BMJHealth Affairs, and The Milbank Quarterly. His 2013 article comparing the mortality benefits of drug and non-drug interventions for common chronic conditions was selected as one of the “Five key BMJ research papers to mark the decade.” In 2020, Huseyin jointly led the development of the Lancet Series on Comparative Effectivenesswhich identified the shortcomings of the current research landscape on new drugs both before and after approval, and outlined key changes to the regulatory system that would be required to ensure that patients, clinicians, and payers have timely access to the data they need for decision making.
