On behalf of Ari Brekkan:
Dear all,
The Uppsala Pharmacometrics Research Group is happy to invite PhD students from
all around the world to the 4th annual Uppsala Pharmacometrics Summer School
(UPSS).
Dates: August 4-15th, 2014
Place: Uppsala, Sweden
Intended for: PhD students
Topics: The first week will focus on covariate model building, the second week
on PKPD modeling of continuous and categorical data in NONMEM7.
Program: Lectures, hands-on sessions, student group work and student
presentations.
Instructors: Mats O. Karlsson and colleagues
Prerequisites: 1) Previous experience with the NONMEM software.
2) Students will be asked to submit an abstract of an analysis problem they are
currently working on or planning to start in the near future.
3) Students will also be required to present a poster based on the abstract.
Group work examples: During each course week, 2 days will be devoted to
working with real data examples brought by the participants. This has been an
appreciated component both by the students that have brought the examples and
the other group members who get to expand their hands-on experience. For the
purpose of these exercises, we ask applicants if they have examples with data
that can be used and thus temporarily shared with fellow students in the group.
Fee: Free of charge (transport, accommodation and food not included)
Traveling grant: Novartis traveling grant covers traveling costs for up to five
PhD students enrolled at universities in developing countries. The grant can be
applied for on the same website as the summer school.
Maximum number of participants: 25
Application deadline: March 1st, 2014
Contact: [email protected]
Extra: A block of rooms at a suitably located hostel
http://www.vandrarhemuppsala.se/english/)
will be reserved for course participants and a social program will be proposed.
