San Francisco Bay Area PK/PD network

From: "Gordi, Toufigh" Toufigh.Gordi@cvt.com Subject: [NMusers] San Francisco Bay Area PK/PD network Date: Fri, April 1, 2005 6:18 pm Dear all, I have been active in the field of PK/PD modeling in an industrial setting in the San Francisco Bay area for almost a year now. Due to the nature of the industry here (a large portion consisting of small biotech companies), most PK/PD scientists might be the only source of these skills in their company with lots of assignments, leaving very little time for keeping up with general advancement in the field or occasional discussions with other PK/PD scientists. I am aware of other scientific fields having a loose network, arranging for occasional meetings or lectures in the Bay Area. To my knowledge, no such network exists for PK/PD scientists in the local industry, although we have very strong academic sites in this geographical area. Id like to hear from those of you working in the Bay Area whether there is a need for such a network and an interest in helping to build it. I invite those interested in this to contact me directly (preferably through e-mail) for preliminary discussions.
