There are still some seats available for the 4th Introductory Pharmacometric
Training Course on
'Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Protein Therapeutics - Concepts and
Hands-On Modeling and Simulation'
The course will be held at the facilities of the University of Tennessee Health
Science Center in Memphis, TN, USA, on April 7-11, 2014.
The 5-day course continues on the successful concept used in previous year
offerings. It will introduce participants to basic principles in the
pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation of novel therapeutic proteins
and will provide opportunities for hands-on PK and PK/PD modeling and
simulation examples relevant to therapeutic proteins. Topics include
target-mediated drug disposition, tissue and tumor penetration, interspecies
scaling, first-in-human dose selection, immunogenicity, model-based drug
development, special populations, biosimilars, and drug-drug interactions. The
target audience comprises pharmaceutical scientists from industry, academia and
regulatory agencies with basic knowledge in PK and PKPD that had only limited
exposure to the challenges associated with developing therapeutic proteins and
that would like to receive a comprehensive overview or refresher on the PK and
PKPD of this class of compounds.

We hope you will join us in April in Memphis!
