Announcement - Basic Pharmacokinetic Workshop, 10th to 15th July 2011, Arosa, Switzerland

ONE WEEK WORKSHOP IN BASIC PHARMACOKINETICS Date - 10th to 15th July 2011 Arosa, Switzerland http://www.arosakulm.ch/ Arosa Kulm Hotel (5 Star) Arosa, Switzerland http://www.arosakulm.ch/ Organised by: Professor Malcolm Rowland Professor Emeritus (Pharmacy), University of Manchester, England http://www.pkworkshops.com/rowland.htm A Workshop, presenting the basic concepts and applications of pharmacokinetics in the pharmaceutical, clinical, and veterinary sciences. FOR WHOM INTENDED The Workshop is designed for pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists and other scientists, pharmacists, and physicians wishing to use pharmacokinetics in drug selection and development, drug protocol design, drug evaluation, drug registration and in the establishment of dosage regimens. Emphasis is placed on relating pharmacokinetics to underlying physiological processes. Only limited exposure to pharmacokinetics is assumed. WORKSHOP CONTENT The Workshop is divided into lectures and small group workshops, in which participants will solve practical problems. A manual, comprising lecture outlines, derivations, problem sets with answers, and additional reading material will be provided. Participants should come with a scientific hand calculator. TOPICS TO BE COVERED INCLUDE: 1. Physiological aspects of drug absorption, distribution and elimination 2. Clearance concepts in pharmacokinetics 3. Assessment of pharmacokinetic parameters, from plasma and urine data, following intravenous bolus, constant rate infusion and extravascular (oral) administration 4. Assessment of rate and extent of drug absorption; bioavailability 5. Multiple dosing 6. Integration of physiological concepts with pharmacokinetics 7. Interspecies scaling 8. Distribution kinetics: introduction to assessment of parameters and consequences in pharmacokinetics 9. Pharmacological Response COURSE FEE: CHF4925 which includes all meals and accommodation at the Arosa Kulm Hotel. Please click here www.pkworkshops.com to register online. Enrollment is limited to 70, so prospective participants are encouraged to register well in advance. Ability to understand and converse in English is essential.
