Biography 

Dr. Stergachis’ research and teaching focuses primarily on the safety and use of medicines and vaccines in LMICs. He is Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs in the School of Pharmacy, Director of the Global Medicines Program and Director of the Biomedical Regulatory Affairs Program. He directed a pharmacovigilance pregnancy registry study on the safety of first trimester antimalarials conducted in three sub-Saharan African countries and has developed novel approaches for HIV pharmacovigilance and strengthening pharmacy services in LMICs. His interests also include antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, having served on numerous committees. Previously, he was senior advisor to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Safety Surveillance Working Group, a member of the US FDA Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee, and Chair of the Malaria in Pregnancy Consortium Safety Working Group. He is a Fellow of the American Pharmacists Association and of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology.
