DESCRIPTION:<p><strong><u>Handbook of Philosophy of Pharmacology &ndash\; Call for chapter proposals</u></strong></p>\n<p>We are now preparing a <strong>Handbook of Philosophy of Pharmacology</strong> edited by chief experts in the field of pharmacology\, philosophy of medicine\, epistemology\, biostatistics\, economics\, and history and sociology of medicine.</p>\n<p><strong>Editors: </strong>Mattia Andreoletti\, (editor-in-chief)<strong>\; </strong>Barbara Osimani (editor-in-chief)<strong>\; </strong>Jeffrey Aronson<strong>\, </strong>Federico Boem<strong>\, </strong>Giovanni Boniolo<strong>\, </strong>Pasqualina Castaldo<strong>\, </strong>Raffaele Giorgetti<strong>\, </strong>Claus Jacob<strong>\, </strong>Saana Jukola\, Franz<strong> </strong>K&ouml\;nig Ma&euml\;l Lemoine<strong>\, </strong>Carlo Martini\,<strong> </strong>Barbara Mintzes<strong>\; </strong>Scott Podolsky\, Martin Posch\, Massimo Riccaboni<strong>\, </strong>Elena Rocca<strong>\, </strong>Klaus Ruthenberg\, Devora Shapiro\, Benjamin Smart<strong>\, </strong> Adriano Tagliabracci<strong>\, </strong>Mark Tonelli.<strong></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Topics</strong></p>\n<p>The complex network of interests (epistemic\, financial\, reputational etc.)\, as well as legal rights and duties that frame the scientific and social ecosystem in which pharmacology is embedded\, make it a unique blend of science and technology. And latest scientific advancements has revealed a lot of new aspects and new questions that require an interdisciplinary approach to be answered. In this Handbook\, philosophers and health scientists will provide a panorama of the complex interaction of such heterogeneous dimensions with a special focus on the current debates on: 1) standards of evidence\; 2) evolution of methods and tools for statistical and scientific inference\; 3) pragmatics as well as epistemic asymmetry of causal assessment of benefits vs. harms\; 4) ethical and societal issues. The Handbook aims to offer an exhaustive overview on current critical issues in pharmacology from various perspectives: formal epistemology\, social epistemology\, philosophy of medicine\, general philosophy of science\, philosophy of statistics\, meta-science\, social studies of science\, economics\, bioethics\, law and policy.</p>\n<p>We invite all the interested scholars to submit a chapter proposal\, both neutral and positions papers are welcomed. The topics to be tackled include - but are not limited to - the following ones\, whose scope sometimes overlap:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adverse Drug Reactions</li>\n<li>Animal models</li>\n<li>Causal inference in pharmacology</li>\n<li>Computational methods in pharmacology (e.g. deep learning\, nature-inspired algorithms\, Bayesian networks)</li>\n<li>Drug policy and regulation</li>\n<li>Evidence-Based pharmacology</li>\n<li>Ethical Issues in pharmacology</li>\n<li>Health economics (&ldquo\;micro&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;macro&rdquo\; approaches)</li>\n<li>History of pharmacology</li>\n<li>Methodological issues in drug discovery</li>\n<li>Pharmacoeconomics</li>\n<li>Pharmacoepidemiology</li>\n<li>Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics</li>\n<li>Pharmaco-surveillance and Risk Management</li>\n<li>Social studies of pharmacology</li>\n<li>Statistical models and methods in pharmacology</li>\n<li>Toxicology</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Expressions of interest to contribute to the Handbook\, initially consisting of a 500 words abstract with the full details names and contact of the authors\, should be sent to Mattia Andreoletti at: <u>mattia.andreoletti@unito.it</u> by <strong>15th June 2019. </strong>Full papers are due by November 2019.
