Date: Fri, April 1, 2005 6:18 pm
Dear all,
I have been active in the field of PK/PD modeling in an industrial setting
in the San Francisco Bay area for almost a year now. Due to the nature of
the industry here (a large portion consisting of small biotech companies),
most PK/PD scientists might be the only source of these skills in their
company with lots of assignments, leaving very little time for keeping up
with general advancement in the field or occasional discussions with other
PK/PD scientists. I am aware of other scientific fields having a loose network,
arranging for occasional meetings or lectures in the Bay Area. To my knowledge,
no such network exists for PK/PD scientists in the local industry, although we
have very strong academic sites in this geographical area.
Id like to hear from those of you working in the Bay Area whether there is a need
for such a network and an interest in helping to build it. I invite those interested
in this to contact me directly (preferably through e-mail) for preliminary discussions.
Best regards,

Dear Dr. Gordi:
Excellent idea! I would be interested in being part of a loose
network of industry/collaborators in this area. Please let me
know what develops.
Thanks,
Steve Shafer
