Uppsala pharmacometrics workshops in the US, East and West Coast, June 2010

Dear all, Uppsala Pharmacometrics with Mats Karlsson and colleagues will give a 3-day course on *Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic modeling of continuous and categorical data in NONMEM 7* for intermediate and advanced users at two locations in the US: 1. From *13^th to 15^th of June *in Morristown, NJ (location to be confirmed shortly) 2. From *17^th to 19^th * of June in San Luis Obispo, CA in conjuction with PaSiPhIC conference The course presents modeling strategies, techniques and implementations (using NONMEM 7) for the handling of PK-PD 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 comparisons and explanations (with respect to PK-PD modeling) of the different estimation methods available in NONMEM 7. Model diagnostics for PK-PD models including diagnostics for the new estimation methods offered in NONMEM 7 will also be covered. The course will consist of both lectures and hands-on computer exercises using NONMEM 7, PsN and Xpose 4. Course participants will be provided with a large library of NONMEM code 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. A /prerequisite/ for the course is experience with performing NONMEM analyses and basic knowledge of PK/PD models.
