THE SHEINER/ROWLAND ADVANCED COURSE IN PHARMACOKINETICS/PHARMACODYNAMICS
Hotel Waldhaus (5 star), Sils-Maria, Engadin Valley, Switzerland
http://www.waldhaus-sils.ch/
Date: Sunday - Friday
11 - 16 April, http://www.waldhaus-sils.ch/
A Workshop, presenting advanced aspects and applications of pharmacokinetics,
pharmacodynamics and kinetic/dynamic data analysis in the medical and
pharmaceutical sciences.
For whom intended:
The Workshop is designed for those who have a good working knowledge of basic
concepts in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and data analysis and who now
wish to extend their knowledge further. Emphasis will be placed on relating
pharmacokinetics to underlying physiological processes and to pharmacodynamics,
and on the analysis and modelling of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data.
Workshop content:
The mornings will be devoted to lectures; the afternoons to small-group
workshops led by experienced tutors, in which participants will solve practical
problems and develop facility with the techniques and approaches discussed in
the lectures. The participants are encouraged to raise questions from their
experience for discussion: time is specifically reserved for such informal
discussions.
A book, comprising lecture outlines, derivations, problem sets with answers,
and additional reading material will be provided. Participants should come with
a scientific hand calculator.
Topics to be covered include:
* Empirical models for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
* Mechanistic models for pharmacokinetics (compartmental, physiological)
and pharmacodynamics (receptor theory) and combined PKPD (immediate and delayed
effects)
* Data analysis techniques for empirical or mechanistic modeling: point
estimates, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests
* Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
* Disease progress and drug action modeling
* Optimal design
COURSE FEE
CHF5000 which includes all meals and accommodation at the Hotel Waldaus, Sils
Maria.
