By doing so, iAPOGEE will unite researchers who together will be able to move beyond conventional pharmacoepidemiological studies by combining novel, state-of-the-art molecular, quantitative genetic, and causal inference methods with computational resources and clinical expertise, to improve our knowledge about effect and safety of pharmaceuticals in humans in the near future.
We believe that innovation and scientific renewal will emerge through a strong focus on interdisciplinary teamwork, career development, creating an inspiring learning environment, and international leadership. Establishment of the iAPOGEE initiative in collaboration with two world-leading program in epidemiology and biostatistics at McGill and University of Bordeaux, one leading training program in teratology in the US, and two upcoming research environments in in clinical genetics South Africa and Brazil, is in line with this vision.
Funding
Funding was obtained through the NFR International Partnerships for Excellent Education and Research (INTPART). According to the NFR, "The objective of the INTPART programme is to develop world-class research and education in Norway. The programme will create a framework for expanding cooperation between research groups considered to be at the international forefront today or that are believed to have the potential to become world leaders in their fields in the future." Main collaborators are presented below. Activities include workshops, research, and student mobility, training, course development, and conferences.
