About US
PHDc is a multidisciplinary team using big data and real-world evidence to improve healthcare through research and collaboration.
Core value
The Population Health Data Center (PHDc) aligns its mission with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and other specific sustainable development goals. Our center aims to improve causal inference and strengthen the clinical value of big data in a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive manner.
We leverage data from observational studies, clinical trials, and healthcare surveys, and apply either direct or indirect data linkages to enrich the data structure. Using pharmacoepidemiologic designs and advanced statistical models, we inform decision-making, enhance clinical care quality, quantify disease burdens, support drug approvals, explore drug repurposing opportunities, and assess the economic and market impacts. All of this is done while promoting responsible medicine use and integrating sustainable practices.
Who we are
PHD center consists of passionate and energetic members dedicated to research,striving to create a friendly, joyful, and vibrant research environment.The symbol of the PHD center is a triangle (set square), selected because it resembles a directed acyclic graph (DAG) used in causal inference. Additionally, the triangle represents measurement and quantification, reflecting our aim to use it to assess true causal relationships and effect sizes.
The members of PHD center are characterized by following features:
Vigorous
We believe research should be engaging and enthusiastic. We harness the passion for pharmacoepidemiology and our research capabilities to explore its vast potential, with the goal of creating a vibrant and enjoyable research environment.
Ingenuity
With diverse expertise in statistics, public health, epidemiology, medicine, and pharmacy, we encourage every member to bring unique creativity and innovative thinking to the table, approaching research from different perspectives and leveraging each individual’s core values.
Enlightenment
Our core mission is to inspire more talent to engage in the field of medical and pharmaceutical research. By harnessing the powerful advantages of Taiwan’s databases and analytical capabilities, we aim to gradually expand academic capacity and enhance the visibility of the medical and pharmaceutical academic community.
Envision
We focus on addressing forward-looking needs within the pharmaceutical industry, aiming to expand real-world database research to meet the evolving demands of medical development. We align our efforts with the healthcare needs outlined in the WHO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), creating new value for real-world data in the healthcare sector.
