Annette Rudolph is a pharmacist from Germany who has lived and worked in Switzerland, Italy, and Sweden previously. During her past work she gained experience in the field of pharmacovigilance, specifically in signal management, on a national, as well as global level.

She joined the Health Informatics department at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam in December 2025 and will here work on her PhD within the GREG project (https://ihi-greg.eu/). For this work she will explore how to use real world data to inform real world evidence for regulatory decision making for medicines and medical devices.
