The European Association of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (EACPT) brings together all the national learned societies for clinical pharmacology and therapeutics in Europe. It provides educational and scientific support to over 4,000 professionals in the field across Europe.
The "Lifetime Achievement Award", presented every two years, is the EACPT's most prestigious prize. Candidates are nominated by national learned societies. The winner is chosen after a vote by the members of the Council, representing all the learned societies. For the first time, this nomination was made by several learned societies.
Professor Tabassome Simon teaches clinical pharmacology at Sorbonne University's Faculty of Health Sciences, and is a hospital practitioner and head of the clinical pharmacology department at Hôpital Saint-Antoine AP-HP. She is also coordinator of the Est Parisien clinical research platform (clinical research unit, clinical research center and biological resource center) within the AP-HP Sorbonne University hospital group, and is deputy research vice-president of the AP-HP Board of Directors.
She also coordinates two Master’s specialisation courses in clinical research and pharmacovigilance at Sorbonne Université, as well as several DIU courses in clinical research and pharmacology.
Her main research projects have been published in scientific journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature, JAMA and the Lancet. Her research focuses on clinical pharmacology and pharmacogenetics in the cardiovascular field, with particular emphasis on coronary artery disease.
Sorbonne Université and AP-HP would like to congratulate Professor Tabassome Simon on this prestigious European award, which recognizes her daily commitment and the excellence of her work.
