Centre for Pharmacoepidemiology

The Centre for Pharmacoepidemiology (CPE) works in a dynamic environment at the intersection of academia, healthcare, authorities and the pharmaceutical industry.
We conduct academic research on drug safety, drug effectiveness and drug utilization and perform regulator-mandated Post-Authorisation Safety Studies (PASS) and Drug Utilization Studies (DUS) in the area of pharmacoepidemiology.
