Visiting Dunedin at this time can be especially rewarding. Be sure to check out the updates on the many events that will be going on that week at http://www.dunedinnz.com/tourism/ Who should attend: ================== The PAGANZ meeting is the Australasian forum for scientists with a research and professional interest in the use of the population approach in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. A strong focus of this meeting is the application of population modelling and simulation techniques in the experimental, clinical and regulatory settings of drug development. This meeting is designed for scientists and clinicians working in basic or clinical pharmacology research, pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies and postgraduate students. The meeting combines a hands on workshop offered by leaders in the field and a one and a half day scientific meeting giving researchers the opportunity to present and discuss their own work. This is a very informal meeting and in the past has been very productive in helping and guiding researchers in this important area of pharmacology and drug development. Two workshops are run in parallel: 1) Introduction to population modelling with NONMEM V 2) PsN and NONMEM VI Poster or Oral Communication Abstract Submission: ================================================= As part of the PAGANZ scientific meeting researchers are encouraged to submit oral and poster presentations. This has been a most valuable aspect of previous meetings.
