Course announcement - Basic and Advanced modelling with NONMEM - 16-17 and 20-22 February - Cape Town, South Africa

Dear all, It is with pleasure that I announce that Uppsala Pharmacometrics, with support from the University of Cape Town Pharmacometrics group, will teach two courses in Cape Town, South Africa: • a 2-day workshop on “Introduction to population PK/PD modelling in NONMEM” • a 2.5-day course on “Advanced methods for population model building and evaluation in NONMEM”. The introductory course (16-17 February) offers an orientation to NONMEM and ancillary software and discusses the basic principles of PK/PD modelling. The advanced course (20-22 February) presents model building and evaluation strategies, techniques and implementation of population models. Both courses will consist of lectures integrated with hands-on computer exercises using NONMEM 7, PsN, and Xpose 4. The courses are supported by the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Swedish Research Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education (STINT) and are offered FREE OF CHARGE to students and researchers from or based in developing countries. At the organizers’ discretion, researchers working in communicable or neglected diseases affecting developing countries will also be considered. Unfortunately, no funds are available to support travel and accommodation expenses, so these will be responsibility of the attendees. For more information and/or if you wish to apply, please email marilyn.solomons_at_uct.ac.za With your application, please include a short letter of motivation describing your background, your current research work, and the course in which you are interested. For logistics and small group allocation purposes, we will need to restrict places to scientists with suitable background skills and the potential to apply in their future work the skills that will be taught in this program.
