16th Annual Scientific Meeting PAGANZ 2014 Jan 29-31 Dunedin New Zealand -- Registration is now Open

Dear Colleagues, It is with pleasure that we invite you to register for the next PAGANZ scientific meeting to be held in Dunedin, New Zealand, 29-31 January 2014. Please visit the Dunedin meeting home page for details of the workshops and scientific program: http://www.paganz.org/dunedin-2014/ Log on to the website, register for the meeting ( http://www.paganz.org/registration/) and proceed to the payment to confirm your place in the meeting. Your registration is not complete until payment has been received. Who should attend? The PAGANZ meeting is the Australasian forum for scientists with a research and professional interest in the use of the population approach in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. A strong focus of this meeting is the application of population modelling and simulation techniques in the experimental, clinical and regulatory settings of drug development. This meeting is designed for scientists and clinicians working in basic or clinical pharmacology research, pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies and postgraduate students. The meeting combines hands-on workshops led by leaders in the field and a one and half day scientific meeting giving researchers the opportunity to present and discuss their own work. This is a very informal meeting and in the past has been very productive in helping and guiding researchers in this important area of pharmacology and drug development. Population Analysis Workshops (1.5 days) PAGANZ runs 2 workshops (Beginners & Intermediate). The workshops consist of lectures and hands-on exercises at a computer. During the hands-on exercises, tutors will be available for consultation and assistance. The Beginners Workshop introduces the theory, application of NONMEM and involves hands-on sessions. The Intermediate Workshop will cover: Day 1: Two half-day workshops: 1) Overview of population estimation algorithms, PKPD models and modelling tools using the Pharsight software Phoenix NLME. 2) Population PKPD modelling of QT interval. Day 2: Lifespan models. PAGANZ Scientific Meeting (1.5 days) The PAGANZ meeting includes a variety of free communications that highlight recent advances in the theory and application of the population approach to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in different clinical settings and in drug development. Each year PAGANZ invites an international renowned speaker to give the ISOP lecture. This year the ISOP lecture will be given by Prof. Leon Aarons, University of Manchester, UK. We look forward to seeing you in January!
