AIDD 605 Application of AI/ML to Pharmacovigilance

This graduate-level course provides an in-depth exploration of the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 
Machine Learning (ML) techniques to pharmacovigilance, the science and activities related to the detection, 
assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. Students will 
gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of AI/ML in improving pharmacovigilance processes, including 
adverse event detection, signal detection, risk management, and regulatory reporting. The course will cover 
fundamental concepts of AI/ML relevant to pharmacovigilance, such as data preprocessing, feature selection, 
model development, and evaluation. Through case studies from relevant drug development context and 
practical exercises, students will develop the skills necessary to apply AI/ML techniques to real-world 
pharmacovigilance challenges. Ethical considerations, regulatory requirements, and best practices for 
implementing AI/ML in pharmacovigilance will also be discussed.
