Dear all, This is a reminder that the Uppsala Pharmacometrics group will be having a NONMEM Workshop for intermediate and advanced users immediately before the PAGE meeting in St. Petersburg in June entitled: Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic modeling of Continuous and Categorical data in NONMEM – June 21-23 Don’t miss out! For more information see below or visit http://www.uppsala-pharmacometrics.com www.uppsala-pharmacometrics.com. Best regards Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------- Brief information: The course presents modeling strategies, techniques and implementations (using NONMEM) for the handling of PKPD information in population models. PD models for continuous data as well as binary, ordered categorical, count and time to event data will be discussed. The course will include new models and methods for evaluation of models. The course will consist of both lectures and hands-on computer exercises using NONMEM VI, PsN and Xpose 4. The participants will be provided with a library of NONMEM code for the entire field as well as self-instructive material for further studies and exploration of examples for a wide range of PKPD models applied in different disease areas. The course will be given by Prof. Mats Karlsson, Dr Lena Friberg, Dr Andrew Hooker and Dr Ulrika Simonsson. A prerequisite for the course is experience with performing NONMEM analyses and basic knowledge of PK/PD models. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Course Fees: Regular fee: € 2,300 Student/Post-doc fee: € 1,250 Registration fee includes: hardcopy folder, extensive electronic material including lectures, exercises, programs (PsN and Xpose), additional self-study material including hands-on and solutions. Morning and afternoon refreshments, lunch and a welcome reception are included. Attendance is strictly limited to 50 with a limited “reduced fee” places available for students and post-docs. Registration and student/post-doc fees will be offered on the basis of first come, first served.
