Daniel Prieto-Alhambra, MD PhD Professor of Pharmaco- and Device Epidemiology at Oxford University Email: |
Background
Prof Dani Prieto-Alhambra trained as a general practitioner in Spain (1996-2006), and then completed a European PhD in medicine and Epidemiology (2008-2011) which triggered his interest in pharmaco-epidemiology. He received formal training in Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and developed an interest in rheumatology and orthopaedics completing an MSc in Musculoskeletal Sciences at University of Oxford (2012-2013).
Dani combines his work as Professor of Pharmaco- and Device Epidemiology at the Centre for Statistics in Medicine (University of Oxford) with his role at Erasmus University Medical Center, and acts also as the Research Co-ordinator of the European Health and Evidence Network (EHDEN). He has extensive expertise in the design, curation, and analysis of electronic medical records, claims, registry and other real world data from all over the world.
Dani’s overarching professional aim is to improve patient care through the generation of reliable and relevant evidence. He sets out to do so by filling gaps in medical knowledge through the development and testing of pharmaco-epidemiological and data science methods, and the analysis of important clinical questions using observational data.
Prof Prieto-Alhambra serves as an elected member of the Steering Group of the European Network of Centres for Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance from December 2020 (www.encepp.eu).
