World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCoP)
Dear all,
I am glad to announce that registration and abstract submission are now open
for the first World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCoP) to be held in Seoul,
Korea, 5-7 September, 2012.
On-line registration is available at the conference website
http://www.go-wcop.org. Participants are advised to register before June 30,
2012 to take advantage of the reduced registration fee. Abstracts should be
submitted online through the conference website no later than May 31, 2012. .
There will be opportunities of oral presentation for selected abstracts.
* Abstract submission due: May 31, 2012
* Early-bird registration due: June 30, 2012
* Conference website: http://www.go-wcop.org/
This 2.5-day conference will consist of 7 oral sessions and 2 plenary lectures,
followed by 2 workshop sessions in parallel with tutorial and software demo
sessions.
The software demo session will proceed as a podium session consisting of 7
software demonstrations, 10 min each, split in categories: for example
estimation, design, systems pharmacology, run handling. Those who are
interested are advised to send the proposal to me as soon as possible. For the
other detail of the program, please visit the conference website, where
speakers of session 4 will soon be announced.
We are soliciting financial contributions from exhibitors and sponsors. If you
are interested in such contribution opportunities, please visit the conference
website for the detail.
The satellite courses scheduled before or after the conference are as follows
and the detail is found at the conference website:
* PK-PD course for modeling of continuous, categorical and time-to event data
using NONMEM 7
* Modeling Biologics with Target-Mediated Disposition
* An Introduction to PK/PD Modeling Using Phoenix WinNonlin
* Population Modeling with Phoenixcc NLMEca and Phoenixcc Connect
* A course on the Monolix 4.1 modelling & simulation software
* Physiologically Modeling Inter-individual Variability: NLME meets PBPK
Considering 60% of world population living in Asia, it is meaningful that the
first WCoP will be held in Asia. It is hoped that WCoP 2012 will contribute to
increasing Asian countries!' interest in pharmacometrics as well as discussing
future directions of the pharmacometrics in the world.
Seoul, the conference venue, has been very active in hosting international PKPD
symposia in recent years. As the capital city for more than 600 years since the
last dynasty of Korea, it will present you a cultural experience with a mixture
of old tradition and hi-technology during the stay.
Thank you in advance for your participation and support.
Best regards,
Kyungsoo Park
Local host, WCoP 2012
