About

Michelle Brasure is a distinguished health services researcher whose work centers on evidence-based medicine, systematic reviews, and comparative effectiveness research. She has made seminal contributions to the field of urology, particularly through her landmark 2020 study, "Therapies for Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer," which synthesized evidence from AHRQ- and AUA-funded reviews to evaluate treatment options for clinically localized prostate cancer. This work, though early in its citation trajectory, has already informed clinical guidelines and decision-making for patients and providers. Beyond urology, Brasure has advanced methodologies for systematic reviews, helping to standardize how complex clinical evidence is aggregated and interpreted. Her research is widely cited by guideline committees, policymakers, and clinicians seeking rigorous, unbiased data. Brasure’s impact is further evidenced by her leadership in major evidence synthesis projects, where her meticulous approach has shaped the landscape of evidence-based practice. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how systematic reviews can bridge the gap between research and real-world clinical care, offering a model for conducting high-impact, policy-relevant science.
