Invitation to 2nd pre-PAGE Educational Pharmacometrics Summer Symposium

Dear NMusers, We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming second *Educational Pharmacometrics Summer Symposium *(EPSS), which will be held on *27 June 2023*, at the *University of A Coruña*, close to PAGE venue. This one-day symposium will bring together experts and professionals in the field of pharmacometrics (PMx) to give an overview of *what PMx is* and *how it can contribute to model-informed drug development and therapy individualisation* (programme https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TEX-cvnhsUj2bmmgLvKdJ_Bef86eGloo/view?usp=share_link ). In short, the symposium will begin with a brief introduction to PMx, followed by a discussion on the use of PMx in drug development, covering preclinical and clinical applications, and also give an introduction to mechanistic models. After lunch and networking, the use of PMx to optimise and personalise treatment will be presented, followed by PMx case studies, which will be based on submitted student abstracts. The symposium will conclude with a short group work session. With speakers from academia, pharmaceutical industry and consultancy, this event covers a broad range of PMx roles and may also be a great opportunity for those looking for the next step in their career development. The symposium is *intended for* students from all natural sciences (Master and PhD), postdocs, and others with an interest in pharmacometrics, such as, clinical pharmacists, clinicians, mathematicians, statisticians, or colleagues from industry. Students or postdocs/trainees may *apply to present their original PMx-related work* as a part of the symposium (submitted abstract should not exceed 4,500 characters, including spaces, and may be the same as for the PAGE meeting); *abstract submission deadline is 31 May 2023*. The participation is *free of charge *and limited to 70 participants. Light lunch and coffee will be provided. To register please follow this link https://forms.gle/hLK7c2jkNRgaHT6T8 (open *until 31 May 2023*). *Based on last year’s very positive feedback, register early to avoid missing out*.
