Medications are an essential aspect of health care. The PharmacoEpidemiology & Drug Safety (PharmaSafe) research group covers a multitude of different research activities related to the safety and optimal use of medications, on both the individual and societal level. We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers, with expertise in a wide range of topics, including pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety, pharmaco(epi)genetics, biostatistics, health economics, and pharmacotherapy.
Using epidemiological methods, we address questions of drug safety that are challenging to study in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Our work includes monitoring of drug utilization in pregnancy, examination of perceptions toward medications, methodology and health economic research, and analysis of medication safety on patient outcomes, including genetic and epigenetic contributions.
