Dr. Davide Papola (MD, PhD) is a psychiatrist and tenured Assistant Professor at the University of Verona.

His scholarly expertise centers on the design and conduct of systematic reviews, with a particular focus on synthesizing clinical trial evidence through meta-analytic methods, as well as on the development of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. His work spans the full translational pathway, from knowledge generation to its implementation in clinical practice.

In 2017, during his psychiatry residency, Dr. Papola spent six months at McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) under the supervision of Professor Gordon Guyatt, where he received advanced training in research methodology, with a specific emphasis on the GRADE approach.

From 2018 to 2023, Dr. Papola served as a guideline developer for the Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità). In 2022, he provided methodological support for the update of the World Health Organization (WHO) Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP). In the same year, he also led a project to update and restructure the mental health section of the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, in coordination with Dr. Mark van Ommeren, Head of the Mental Health Section of the WHO Department of Mental Health and Substance Use (Geneva, Switzerland).

From 2022 to 2024, Dr. Papola held a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral appointment at the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School (Boston, Massachusetts), where he worked within the research group led by Professor Vikram Patel.
