Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Drug Safety
This course is a part of
In this course you will learn how to critically assess scientific studies using big data and you will gain competences within ethical, legal and regulatory aspects of big data and data science.
The need for competencies in Pharmaceutical Data Science is steadily increasing in response to the explosion of available and complex data in biomedicine and related streams.
The vast volume of data covers a diverse landscape from the properties of drug molecules over their biological mechanisms of action to individual patient data collected in clinical trials and healthcare settings.
Through this course you will get an overview of data science methods in the context of drug safety. The course is tailored for both academia and industry.
Topics of the course:
- Pharmaceutical data science for drug safety
- Introduction to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning
- Introduction to the Science of "Big Data"
- Data sources and their characteristics, the possibilities for access
- Case studies of applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning in drug safety
- Regulatory and ethical aspects of using big data artificial intelligence in pharmaceutical science for drug safety
