Center for Drug Evaluation and Safety

The Center for Drug Evaluation and Safety was established to unite researchers across UF departments and colleges who share a common interest in using big data to evaluate drugs and their use in real-world populations. Research interests of CoDES members span a broad spectrum of topics and specialties from pharmacoepidemiologic and pharmacoeconomic studies, to pharmaceutical predictive analytics and pharmaceutical policy studies. CoDES supports research and training with a vast infrastructure of automated healthcare data, code libraries and analytical support, a post-doctoral fellowship program, and a seminar series.
