EMF Consulting is pleased to announce that the Workshop to be held on 21
to 25 May 2007 is open for registration.
Registrations are accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
This course is based on the NONMEM manuals, tutorials and varied
workshops run previously. Minimum theoretical lectures are given to
allow a naive NONMEM user to perform the exercises during the practical
hands-on sessions. The course is directed at pharmacokineticists,
clinical pharmacologists, and statisticians in pharmaceutical research.
We'll accept up to 10 trainees only.
English is the course language, EMF site is non-smoking and fully
accessible.
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of PK, PKPD and clinical statistics.
Instructors: Eliane Fuseau, PhD, and Olivier Petricoul, PhD.

Lectures/ Discussion themes (~16 hours)
Day 1 Basic concepts of pharmacokinetic modelling, introduction to
population modelling, strategy for drug development (why and when), use
