The Uppsala Pharmacometrics group is happy to announce two NONMEM
Intermediate Workshops
Workshop 1: Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling of Continuous
and Categorical data
Location: Washington DC, USA,
Dates: 16th-18th of March 2009.
Workshop 2: New features and advanced methods for model building and
evaluation in NONMEM VI
Location: Washington DC, USA,
Dates: 21st-23rd of March 2009.
Workshops can be taken together or separately. They are organized to run
immediately before and after the Annual ASCPT meeting. For more information

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Brief information for workshop 1:
The Uppsala group has been involved in developing NONMEM models and
methodology for over fifteen years and has extensive experience in modeling
continuous and categorical data in a wide range of disease areas. In this
course the Uppsala group will present modeling strategies, techniques and
implementations (using NONMEM) for the handling of PK and PD information in
population models. PD models for continuous data as well as binary, ordered
categorical, count, and time to event data will be discussed. The course
will include methods for graphical evaluation of continuous and categorical
PK/PD models. The course will consist of both lectures and hands-on computer
exercises using NONMEM VI, PsN and Xpose 4.
The course will be given by Prof. Mats Karlsson, Dr Lena Friberg, Dr Andrew
Hooker and Dr Ulrika Simonsson.
A prerequisite for the course is experience with performing NONMEM analyses
and basic knowledge of PK/PD models.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Brief information for workshop 2:
During the last decade they have been involved in the testing and evaluation
of NONMEM VI as it has been developed and several research projects have
focused on new functionality in NONMEM VI. In parallel, diagnostics for
model building have been developed, evaluated and integrated into NONMEM
VI-adapted versions of the freeware programs Perl-speaks-NONMEM (PsN) and
Xpose 4. In this course the Uppsala group will present some of the most
exciting new features of NONMEM VI and how these tools can be used in the
development and evaluation of non-linear mixed effects models.
The course will be given by Prof. Mats Karlsson, Dr Andrew Hooker and Dr
Radojka Savic.
A prerequisite for the course is experience with performing NONMEM analyses
or having attended a NONMEM basic workshop.
