Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety Research Group (PharmaSafe), University of Oslo

The PharmacoEpidemiology & Drug Safety Research Group covers a wide range of research activities related to optimal use and safety of medication across the life course. We use Norwegian health registry data and birth cohorts and epidemiological methods to address questions of drug safety that cannot be studies in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Our work includes monitoring of drug utilization research, medication safety in pregnancy, vaccine effectiveness, and methodology research. The research group is multidiciplinary and has expertise in pharmacoepidemiology, regulatory pharmacovigilance, biostatistics, genetics and pharmacotherapy. We are a data partner in the EU DARWIN project.
