Welcome from ACPE2024 Program Committee Chair
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the 16th Asian Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology here in Tokyo! This conference presents a unique opportunity to explore new methodologies and approaches in pharmacoepidemiology, with a focus on the diverse healthcare landscapes and research across Asia. We will also be examining key topics such as the use of real-world evidence in regulatory decision-making, the role of AI and machine learning in the field, COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, and the safety of medications across various medical fields. I am confident that these sessions will provide valuable insights and foster collaboration both within our region and beyond, reflecting the significant advancements in pharmacoepidemiology studies in Asia over recent years.
I would like to sincerely thank our speakers, presenters, committee members, the ISPE and the JSPE, and everyone involved in the submissions and reviews of the program. Your contributions have made this conference possible and underscore the growing strength of pharmacoepidemiology in Asia.

Welcome from ACPE International Steering Committee (ISC) Chair
As Chair of the ACPE ISC at the International Society of Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE), I am delighted to welcome you to ACPE 2024 in Tokyo, Japan. This year’s conference marks a historic milestone for ACPE, with the largest number of abstracts ever submitted in our 16 conferences hosted across the Asia Pacific. ACPE was founded over 20 years ago by pioneering pharmacoepidemiologists in the Asia Pacific who recognized the need and potential for growth in this field in our region.
Over the past 15 conferences, we have witnessed significant advancements in pharmacoepidemiology, including the development of data resources and infrastructure, the rise of a new generation of pharmacoepidemiologists, impactful evidence informing medical and pharmacy practices and policies, and strong collaborations among academia, industry, and governments across the Asia Pacific.
We look forward to continuing this momentum together in Tokyo.
Sincerely,
