Núria Riera-Guàrdia, PharmD, PhD. Research Epidemiologist at RTI-HS Barcelona.
I am a Research Epidemiologist at RTI-HS located in Barcelona, Spain. During the period as a Pharmacy student, I spent 2 years in Bonn, Germany through the European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students (ERASMUS). I conducted a student research project at the University of Bonn (Germany) in the Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology and an internship in the pharmacy hospital in Klinik Siegburg, Germany. After completing my training in Pharmacy I moved to Heidelberg, Germany, to pursue a doctoral degree in Epidemiology at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). I have worked in European Projects on drug safety of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and oral hypoglycemic agents. I have experience with meta-analysis, case control and cohort studies, and statistical analysis. I have provided epidemiologic support for the preparation of orphan drug applications and other key regulatory submissions, targeted and systematic literature reviews (including preparation of manuscripts for publication), and studies using health databases.
