The European Commission is seeking independent scientific experts to join the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) advisory committee on the safety of medicines.

The Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) plays a prominent advisory role to the EMA. It recently began a review of acute kidney injuries reported in some COVID-19 patients being treated with Gilead Sciences’ antiviral remdesivir.

PRAC members serve three-year terms and the incoming panel is scheduled to begin on July 2, 2021. Expressions of interest in joining the expert panel are due by Nov. 20.
