From September 12-15, 2024, members of PharmaSafe attended the ENTIS-OTIS joint meeting in Nyborg, Denmark. The event focused on coordinating the activities of various Teratology Information Services (TIS) and contributing to the prevention of birth defects and developmental disorders.
Attendees and Participation
Representing our team were Milica Zugic (PhD Student), Emilie Bredal Eriksen (whose master’s thesis is set for publication), Hedvig Nordeng (Head of Research Group), and Marleen van Gelder (Senior Researcher). Our team members actively contributed to the conference through presentations and posters, showcasing their ongoing research.
Presentations and Sessions
Hedvig Nordeng discussed "Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation Regulatory Labelling - Status and Perspectives from FDA and EMA" and co-led a session titled "Multinational Registry Studies on Drugs in Pregnancy: Challenges and Perspectives & Oral Communication."
Marleen van Gelder presented on the "Association of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Use During Pregnancy and Miscarriage: A Norwegian Registry Linkage Study."
Milica Zugic and Emilie Bredal Eriksen presented insightful posters related to their research work.
Highlights from the Meeting
A key highlight of the conference was the academic quiz, where Hedvig Nordeng and Marleen van Gelder secured first and second place respectively. This competitive yet friendly event was a testament to their deep knowledge and engagement in the field.
International Collaboration
The conference provided an excellent platform for our team to strengthen existing international connections and relationships, and the discussions and interactions contributed positively to our ongoing projects.
Moving Forward
The insights and connections gained at the ENTIS-OTIS Conference are invaluable to our work in pharmacoepidemiology. The team is now well-equipped to integrate these learnings into their projects, driving forward our shared mission of preventing birth defects and developmental disorders.
Stay tuned for more updates on our progress and future engagements!
