Professor Sallie Pearson is a health service researcher and behavioural scientist with almost 20 years experience in quality use of medicines research. In the last decade her research has had a strong focus on the post-market surveillance of prescribed medicines using population-based, linked routine data collections. Sallie completed her doctoral training at the University of Newcastle, Australia (1999) and her Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pharmaceutical Policy at Harvard Medical School, USA (2000-2001). On her return to Australia she worked as a consultant to the WHO Collaborating Centre in Pharmaceutical Policy Boston and Medicare Australia. Sallie established her independent pharmaceutical policy and pharmacoepidemiology research group in 2006. In October 2015 she joined the newly established Centre for Big Data Research as head of the Medicines Policy Research Unit.
