Pharmaco-epidemiology

Lead PI: Joan Neuner, MD, MPH

An interdisciplinary team of researchers is currently investigating decision making, disparities, and outcomes related to medication use. Joan Neuner, MD, MPH, leads a NIH R01 that examines policy relevant barriers to medication adherence and their association with SES-based disparities in mortality. Kathryn Flynn, PhD, leads (as multiple PI with Ehab Atallah, MD) a NIH RO1 following patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who discontinue tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy to characterize the patient factors associated with CML recurrence and explore patient decision making regarding discontinuation with monitoring. Aaron Winn, PhD, in the school of Pharmacy leads a CTSI KL2 to apply novel analytic techniques to examine the comparative effectiveness and toxicity of treatments for metastatic breast cancer.
