2 Day Introductory Workshop on Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics,Canberra, Australia, 4th & 5th December 2012

******* REGISTRATION NOW OPEN ******* A 2 Day Introductory Workshop on Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Canberra, Australia 4th & 5th December 2012 http://www.advancedpkpd.org/introductory_pkpd_workshop_dec_2012 [Please note that an introductory workshop on NONMEM is being offered on 6th and 7th December at the same location. These workshops will run back to back.] This 2 day work shop will be run by leading experts in the area of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The workshop will cover basic aspects of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and bioequivalence with pharmaceutical and clinical applications. For Whom Intended. This course is intended for pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, pharmacists and physicians wishing to understand and apply pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles in their practice. Only minimal prior knowledge of pharmacokinetics is assumed. Workshop Content The Workshop is divided into 3 parts (1) pharmacokinetics, (2) pharmacodynamics and (3) bioequivalence. Each part will contain a mixture of lectures and workshops. An electronic manual, comprising lecture outlines and relevant workshop materials, will be provided. Participants should come with a scientific hand calculator. Topics to be covered include: Pharmacokinetics: Clearance, volume, half-life, drug metabolism/interactions. Pharmacodynamics: Emax, C50, immediate effects, delayed effects and disease progression. Bioequivalence: Absorption, rate and extent, and bioequivalence analysis. Faculty Leon Aarons is a Professor in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Manchester, UK. His research interests are in population and physiologically based pharmacokinetics. Stephen Duffull is Professor of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. He runs a modelling and simulation lab within the School of Pharmacy. Research interests include optimal design, MCMC methods particularly in clinical toxicology and the influence of obesity on PKPD. Nick Holford is Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. His main interests are PKPD modelling. He has particular interests in describing disease progression, influence of drug treatments on disease and dosing of children. Fee The fee for the course is $1200 AUD per person. This does not include travel and accommodation. If you register for both the Introductory NONMEM and PKPD Workshops then the fee is reduced to a total of $2000 AUD per person for both workshops.
