PORTAL brings together researchers, analysts, and trainees from the fields of medicine, law, epidemiology, economics, ethics, health policy, and beyond to tackle challenges in prescription drug policy using a multidisciplinary lens.

In doing so, our group is committed to cultivating the next generation of investigators seeking to provide meaningful insights to support an optimal prescription drug landscape. To assure independence, no members of PORTAL have any personal financial relationships with pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers.
