WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
Please join our Oct 1 (11 am ET) community call for a session focused on DARWINEU®. The EMA and the European Medicines Regulatory Network established a coordination centre to provide timely and reliable evidence on the use, safety and effectiveness of medicines for human use, including vaccines, from real world healthcare databases across the European Union (EU). This capability is called the Data Analysis and Real World Interrogation Network (DARWIN EU®).
The DARWIN EU® data network currently includes 20 data partners across 13 nations — comprising more than 143 million patients — that have been mapped to the OMOP common data model. Multiple OHDSI Titan Award winners can be found leading the DARWIN EU® coordination centre, and many OHDSI tools, methods and practices are present in ongoing or completed studies. We are thrilled to welcome two initiative leaders to discuss the progress of DARWINEU®:
• Peter Rijnbeek, Professor of Medical Informatics and Chair of the Department of Medical Informatics, Erasmus MC (DARWINEU® Executive Director, Technology Pillar Lead)
• Dani Prieto-Alhambra, Section Head, Health Data Sciences, University of Oxford; Professor, Erasmus MC (DARWINEU® Deputy Director, Development Pillar Lead)
• Katia Verhamme, Associate Professor of Use and Analysis of Observational Data, Erasmus MC
• Maxim Moinat, PhD Student, Erasmus MC
Everybody is invited. Calendar invites went out last week. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly calls are available within our Teams environment and will be posted on both our YouTube page and our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
