Speaker bios

Shirley Wang is an Associate Professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School where she leads the Meta-Research in Pharmacoepidemiology program. Several recent projects were aimed at improving the transparency, reproducibility and robustness of evidence from healthcare databases (www.repeatinitiative.org) and informing when and how real-world evidence studies can draw causal conclusions to inform regulatory or other healthcare decision-making (www.rct-duplicate.org), through a series of large scale emulation projects offering insights into what types of clinical questions can be answered with real-world data and which methods are the most robust.

Anton Pottegård is a pharmacoepidemiologist and clinical pharmacist working as a professor at the University of Southern Denmark, leading a team of more than 40 researchers. His research focuses on the use of drugs in its broadest sense and with more than 350 publications within pharmacoepidemiology he is highly established both within applied and methodological research.
