Research summary

My PhD project is focused on developing reusable data science tools for modelling exposure to drugs based on routinely collected prescribing data. The main focus of this project is the development and validation of a package in R containing flexible and reusable functions for quantifying drug exposure using a range of common methods which were identified through a systematic review of pharmacoepidemiological literature.
