Reminder of ASoP NY/NJ/PA Regional Event

Dear Colleagues, We just wanted to send a gentle reminder to register for our second ASoP NY/NJ/PA regional event, which is set to take place on Nov 1st in Lahaska/New Hope, Pennsylvania. Our speaker will be Dr Malcolm Rowland. The title and abstract for Dr Rowland's presentation are as follows: Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetics: Advancing the Clinical Dimension For many years a predominantly academic subject, the application of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling (PBPK) is coming of age in drug development and regulation, reflecting significant advances in recent years in the predictability of key PK parameters from a combination of human in vitro data, drug physicochemical information, and the availability of dedicated software platforms and associated data bases. The complexity of the resulting model depends on the intended application. PBPK is now helping to predict the first-in-human PK, and has the facility to be updated in the light of clinical data and thereby provide more holistic view across the pre-clinical/clinical divide. Some of the specific advances and contemporary challenges with respect to predicting the quantitative extent of PK-based drug-drug interactions and the impact of age, genetics, disease and formulation are considered. For registration and additional details, please see the event webpage at http://www.go-asop.org/malcolm-rowland. While this will be our final event in 2011, rest assured we are already looking ahead to 2012, in which we plan to offer approximately one event per quarter. Details for our first quarter event will be announced soon. Please also note that there will be a joint ASCPT/ASoP preconference in March 2012. For additional information see http://www.go-asop.org/upcoming-events and http://www.ascpt.org/2012AnnualMeeting/ScientificEvents/AmericanSocietyofPha rmacometrics/tabid/8209/Default.aspx). Thank you once again for contributing to the success of these ASoP regional events. We look forward to seeing you in Lahaska/New Hope next week. Sincerely, The ASoP NY/NJ/PA Regional Steering Committee: Jim Bosley, Mark Lovern, Partha Nandy, Larisa Reyderman, Julie Stone, Stacey Tannenbaum, Marc Pfister
