Profile

In my daily work I conduct multi-database, international epidemiologic studies of safety of medicines and vaccines. Furthermore, I am interested in methods for valid causal inference from observational data amidst different sources of bias.  Finally, I lead the taskforce of international experts charged with developing regulatory guidance on reproductive and perinatal pharmacoepidemiology. I serve on the editorial boards of two peer-reviewed journals.

Job responsibilities

My primary area of ​​responsibility is planning, coordinating and conducting regulator-mandated postauthorisation safety studies (phase 4 studies), including those focusing on safety of treatments in pregnancy. I also contribute to researcher-initiated projects, methodological work, and supervision of early-career colleagues.
