TIDE Research

TIDE's body of work spans two primary focus areas: Pharmacoepidemiology and Infectious Disease Epidemiology.

Pharmacoepidemiology Research

Determining the effectiveness of marketed drugs and vaccines, ensuring their safety, and improving the appropriateness of their use are longstanding, important societal challenges. Current activities focus on development of new knowledge, and of better local and national capabilities to perform collaborative research. We lead several distributed data networks to support therapeutics research and surveillance programs.

Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research

The TIDE group leads several programs based on public-private partnerships between academic centers, health care organizations, and the traditional public health community focusing on the identification and reporting of notifiable infectious diseases. Our ongoing initiatives aim to enhance surveillance, reporting, prevention, and management of serious infections in hospitals and communicable diseases within the broader population.
