Dear Colleagues,
The 5th Annual Introductory Pharmacometric Training Course on
'Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Protein Therapeutics - Concepts and Hands-On Modeling and Simulation'
will be held at the facilities of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN, USA, on April 13-17, 2015.
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. Although the course includes hands-on exercises, participants do NOT need to have prior experience with any particular PKPD analysis software.

We hope you will join us in April in Memphis!
