PharmaSafe-affiliated researchers Dr. Angela Lupattelli, Emilie Willoch Olstad, Dr. Nhung Trinh and Dr. Sina Rostami organized a workshop on the use of genetic and epigenetic data in pharmacoepidemiology. We covered various topics, including polygenic risk scores, simulations and Mendelian Randomization studies, and united national and international experts in the fields of genetics, epigenetics, pharmacoepidemiology and machine learning. The workshop received good feedback, the participants were engaged and the speakers opened for discussions during the lectures. Participants also got to put the theory into practice during the many practical sessions of the workshop.
