Novartis Fellowships
A health economics fellowship in the Program on the Economic Evaluation of Medical Technology at the Harvard School of Public Health is supported by Novartis Pharmaceuticals. This program is designed to support a doctoral student's research activities in the areas of health economics and health technology assessment. In today's healthcare environment, it is essential that the value of medical interventions are fully assessed in order to determine how best to allocate limited healthcare resources. The Novartis Health Economics Fellowship is designed to support outstanding Harvard scholars gain additional experience in state of the art research on the economic evaluation of medical technologies.
A drug-disease model translates quantifiable knowledge
and beliefs about disease processes and drug action into predictions of
measurable markers and responses of interest to drug development scientists,
customers, and regulators. Novartis is committed to model-based drug
development wherein the creation and application of disease models are central
to the scientific process. The Novartis Modeling and Simulation Fellowship is a
fellowship designed to build and support a pipeline of talent in the area of
simulation modeling used to integrate the principles of biology, pharmacology,
and statistics to predict and explain the quantitative consequences of
decisions.
