Announcement: Quantitative Translational Approaches in Oncology Drugs, Villa del Grumello, Como Italy

Dear All, We would like to draw your attention to following announcement: Quantitative Translational Approaches in Oncology Drugs, Villa del Grumello, Como Italy September 12-16, 2016, Villa del Grumello, Como http://taod.lakecomoschool.org/ http://taod.lakecomoschool.org/ In this school, rational model-based approaches, grounded on pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, biostatistic, system pharmacology models, will be illustrated using examples from the daily practice in drug research and development. All drug development phases, ranging from in vitro preclinical to late clinical development, will be addressed. Hands-on sessions will also be performed. The course will be hosted in the wonderful environment of Villa del Grumello, located in front of the Como Lake. Attendants: Scientists working in the field of pharmacometrics, clinical pharmacology and drug development from both industry and academy, PhD students, Post-Doc researchers. Max. Approx 30 seats. Attendants are encouraged to bring their laptops for hands-on sessions. Venue: Como, Villa del Grumello, Via Cernobbio, 11, 22100 Como CO, Italy.
