Second announcement: 3rd Annual Course on PKPD of Protein Therapeutics - April 15-19, 2013

Second Announcement: We would like to bring to your attention the 3rd Annual Introductory Training Course on 'Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Protein Therapeutics - Concepts and Hands-On Modeling and Simulation' The course will be held at the facilities of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN, USA, on April 15-19, 2013. The 5-day course continues on the successful concept used in previous year offerings. It will introduce participants to basic principles in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation of novel therapeutic proteins and will provide opportunities for hands-on PK and PK/PD modeling and simulation examples relevant to protein drugs. Topics include target-mediated drug disposition, tissue and tumor penetration, interspecies scaling, first-in-human dose selection, immunogenicity, model-based drug development, disease progression modeling, and drug-drug interactions. The target audience comprises pharmaceutical scientists from industry, academia and regulatory agencies with basic knowledge in PK and PKPD that had only limited exposure to the challenges associated with developing therapeutic proteins and that would like to receive a comprehensive first overview or refresher on the PK and PKPD of this class of compounds.
