28th ESPACOMP Conference
November 21-22, 2024 | Naples, Italy
The Conference Theme will be
Precision Dosing:
Navigating Adherence in Drug Development and Clinical Practice
Optimizing drug dosages is essential for effective treatment outcomes and patient safety. However, non-adherence in drug trials and clinical practice poses significant challenges, leading to overdosing, unnecessary dose escalation, and risks associated with polypharmacy. This conference will explore strategies to address these challenges and promote precision dosing tailored to individual patient needs.

Keynote Speakers
Dr Alpana Mair, FFRPharmS, MRPharmS, MSc, PhD, IP
Dr Alpana Mair is an internationally renowned academic and expert policy adviser in the field of medication optimisation and patient safety with a particular focus on polypharmacy and safety and effective use of medicines in the context multimorbidity and health inequalities.
Her ESPACOMP invited talk will focus on ‘Navigating polypharmacy: Ensuring safe medication use in complex regimens’, specifically on: Importance of medication reviews in polypharmacy management; Criticality of addressing medication adherence in polypharmacy; Identifying and addressing drug interactions and duplications; Promoting patient-centered approaches to optimize medication regimens.
Dr Bijan J. Borah, PhD
Dr. Bijan J. Borah is a Professor of Health Services Research at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science in Rochester, Minnesota. He serves as the Endowed Scientific Director for the Clinical and Economic Evaluation Program at the Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery, Mayo Clinic, and is the Head of the Section of Advanced Analytics within the Division of Health Care Delivery Research. Prior to joining Mayo Clinic, Dr. Borah was an Associate Director of Health Economics and Outcomes Research at UnitedHealth. Dr. Borah’s educational background was in statistics (B.Sc., M.Sc.), economics (M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D.), and data science (Certificate). His research primarily focuses on comparative effectiveness research spanning across various clinical areas. He has published over 175 peer-reviewed scientific articles, with a significant portion dedicated to medication adherence and persistence. Dr. Borah actively contributes to the academic and research community through his secondary appointments. He is a member of the Midwest Comparative Effectiveness Public Advisory Council (CEPAC) of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), a member of the Cost and Efficiency Subcommittee for the Partnership for Quality Measurement (PQM), and the Chair of the Special Interest Group on Medication Adherence and Compliance at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR).
Prof Sean Lawley, PhD
Sean Lawley is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Utah. His research uses mathematics to answer questions in physiology and medicine. His work on medication nonadherence has addressed questions such as (i) what patients should do if they miss a dose, (ii) how clinicians can design dosing regimens to mitigate nonadherence, and (iii) how efficacy depends on adherence. He has also studied ovarian aging, menopause timing, and stochastic search. He received a PhD in Mathematics from Duke University in 2014 and a BS in Computational Finance from Carnegie Mellon University in 2009.
