Minnesota Pharmacometrics Summer School 2020

The Pharmacometrics Group at the University of Minnesota is planning a two-week, didactic/hands-on summer school covering intermediate modeling and simulation topics. DATES: July 13-24, 2020 LOCATION: University of Minnesota 7-115 Weaver-Densford Hall 308 Harvard St. SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 TARGET AUDIENCE: The course is intended for PhD students and post-doctoral trainees. PREREQUISITES: Previous experience conducting population-based analyses. The registrant will also need to bring a laptop with suitable NLME and R/RStudio software installed. FORMAT: The format will consist of lectures, hands-on sessions, group work, and presentations, with a focus on a basic understanding of the topic, implementation of appropriate code, and interpretation of results. MPSS will be structured around R and NONMEM. Experience with PsN and Pirana is highly desirable. Evening office hours for group or individual project consultation can be arranged. TOPICS: A variety of topics will be covered that are often beyond what can be presented in an introductory course or workshop. Topics will include simulation with mrgsolve; estimating parameter precision; incorporating between occasion variability; mixture modeling; simulation based diagnostics; covariate modeling strategies; and approaches to PK/PD modeling. FEE: There will be no charge for the program but students are responsible for their own transportation, food, and lodging. LIMIT TO ENROLLMENT: 20 registrants. DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: Friday March 20, 2020. We expect to have acceptances to the program announced by April 20, 2020.
