Research

Developing the science of pharmacovigilance has been a key priority for Uppsala Monitoring Centre for over four decades.

The science behind identifying and preventing harm to patients

At UMC we work to develop the best possible tools for pharmacovigilance in general and in support of all member countries in the WHO PIDM.

Research at UMC focuses on inventing, implementing, and advancing methods for data-driven discovery in support of signal work and for intelligence augmentation – where computational methods support and enhance human decision-making throughout post-market surveillance.
