    Brianna Goodale

    Dr. Goodale brings 15+ years of clinical research experience, applying machine learning and advanced statistics to healthcare, vaccines, and drug development. She earned a PhD in quantitative and social psychology from UCLA in 2018, after a BA from Harvard in 2009. In 2017, she joined a wearable device company as a Data Science intern, later becoming a Clinical Data Scientist, where she authored regulatory documentation for fertility-predicting SaMD algorithms. Dr. Goodale has led retrospective Real World Evidence studies, systematic reviews, and contributed to numerous research projects. As Head of Data Science at Julius Clinical (2022–2024), she helped launch a post-market COVID-19 vaccine safety study via VAC4EU and worked to integrate AI into risk-based monitoring and project management. Her research spans infectious disease, cardiometabolic health, women’s health, and CNS, combining machine learning with epidemiological methods.

    MSc, PhD Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University, Denmark Signe Sørup is a vaccine epidemiologist committed to studying the overall health effects of vaccines by using information from registers and other electronic databases. The main focus of her research has been safety and non-specific effects of vaccines, but her research interests also cover infectious diseases and vaccine uptake. Signe Sørup has been scientific coordinator of a joint NordForsk-funded register-based research project to examine the overall health effects of childhood vaccines for children in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. She is a co-PI of a post-authorization active surveillance safety study of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine conducted in 4 European countries. Signe Sørup has served as a board member for the Danish Society of Epidemiology.
