Lab Team

In our lab, we have a diverse team comprising medical doctors, pharmacists, clinical pharmacology residents, epidemiologists, statisticians, and grad students in different curricula. Our lab is based at the Institute of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology at Charité, but our members are spread across different countries and institutions.
