DSRU looks forward to ISPE conference!
The DSRU team is off to Milan on 30th August for the 42nd Annual Meeting of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE). We’re presenting some of our recent RWD studies and will be exhibiting at Booth 412!
Our team is looking forward to revealing our new look and catching up with colleagues old and new.




The essence of ISPE is built on sharing: ideas, evidence, experience and the thinking that moves pharmacoepidemiology forward. We look forward to sharing our world‑class real‑world data solutions that bring clarity, insight and precision to risk management.
