Noor Alsaffar is a Phd candidate at the University of Strathclyde and holds an MSc in Clinical Pharmacy from the University of Strathclyde and a
Bpharm from Kuwait University.
Noor's research interests focus on pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Utilisation Research (DUR), particularly in the field of lipid-lowering therapies (LLTs). The project involves describing utilisation and expenditure trends of LLTs in Kuwait over 11 years using aggregated-level data. Additionally, the research employs secondary databases and patient-level data to examine the quality of lipid control post-initiation of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 inhibitors (PCSK9Is).
Noor attended the EuroDURG conference in 2023 in Bologna, Italy, marking the first participation in the ISPE Special Interest Group for DUR.
