Biography

Bianca Varney is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) within the Medicines Intelligence Research Program at the School of Population Health, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney. Her research focuses on harnessing linked, large-scale healthcare data to explore the use of medicines in everyday settings, particularly assessing their safety in clinical trials. A significant aspect of her work is centered around the safety of medicine use during pregnancy, an area where evidence is currently limited. Bianca's active engagement in this field aims at strengthening the evidence base for medicine use among high-priority, under-researched populations, ultimately producing high-quality evidence that informs policy and supports both women and healthcare providers in making informed treatment decisions regarding care. She has held notable scholarships including the Covidence Global Scholarship Fund in 2022 and the Scientia PhD Scholarship from the University of New South Wales.
