Two online NONMEM courses May 11-13 and 14-15
Dear all,
Uppsala Pharmacometrics will give two online courses on advanced topics in
pharmacometrics using Zoom a solution for online meetings ranked #1 in customer
reviews.
The online courses will offer:
- Live video lectures and hands-on
- Engaging Q&A and polling
- Enriching discussions in small breakout rooms
- Possibility for remote assistance
- Hands-on material developed for NONMEM 7.4 Perl-speaks-NONMEM (PsN) and Xpose
- A vast amount of hands-on examples, code, code snippets, and lecture material
- Virtual coffee breaks to connect with other participants
"I thought it was a great course!", "I am really liking this course.", "You got
all this information with a single command?"
(Some participant feedback from the previous iteration of the course)

Course 1: Advanced methods for population model building, evaluation, and usage
in NONMEM
=========================================================================
May 11-13, 2020
Andrew Hooker & Mats Karlsson
Pharmacometric modeling has become a pillar in model informed drug development
(MIDD). With this comes expectations with respect to quality, efficiency,
transparency, and innovation in the implementation of the modeling and
decision-making process. In this course we will present methods that will help
make model building of standard problems more efficient and improve the final
product. Further, it will give modelers a larger toolset of diagnostics and
model components when it comes to development of models for challenging
situations. Automated procedures recently developed for PsN & R facilitates a
comprehensive assessment of a model and tailored functionality allow
command-line transformations of models.
If you want to learn how to use tools and methods for fast, efficient and
comprehensive model building, evaluation and usage, come join us in May!
Course 2: Pharmacometric modeling of composite score outcomes
===================================================
May 14-15, 2020
Sebastian Ueckert & Mats Karlsson
The EDSS in multiple sclerosis, the ACR scale for rheumatoid arthritis, or the
MDS-UPDRS in Parkinson’s disease; these composite scales are as diverse as the
diseases they are designed to measure. Composite scores also arise through
patient-reported outcomes (PROs) that aim at measuring symptom status, physical
function, mental health, and other measures important to patients. The wide
range of novel pharmacometric models and approaches developed during the past
years is a testament to the growing importance of this data type. This course
will cover recent innovations and provide participants with a rich set of tools
for analyzing composite scores in a wide variety of therapeutic areas. The
course will illustrate how one can leverage finely grained item-level
information but also how summary score data are most efficiently utilized.
Throughout the course, questions of both model building and model-use will be
discussed and presented in an interactive format including hands-on exercises.
Best regards,
Andrew
