Dear all,
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to announce the
first World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCoP) to be held in Seoul, Korea,
5-7 September, 2012.
As those of you who attended ACoP or PAGE this year probably heard, the WCoP
has been created to give a local stimulus to the region where it is hosted and
to provide opportunities of discussing the future of pharmacometrics from a
strategic perspective. I will be held every 4 years,
* Abstract submission due: May 31, 2012
* Early-bird registration due: June 30, 2012
* Conference website: http://www.go-wcop.org/
This 2.5-day conference will consist of 7 oral sessions and 2 plenary lectures,
followed by 2 workshop sessions in parallel with tutorials. There will be
opportunities of oral presentation for selected abstracts. For the detail of
the program, please visit the conference website.
For exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities, the related information will be
soon available on the conference website.
The organizing committee is also planning to open satellite courses before or
after the conference. If some of you are interested in giving such courses,
please send your proposals to me before February 28, 2012 in order to be fully
considered. Some of the satellite courses that already sent proposals include:
* PK-PD course for modeling of continuous, categorical and time-to event data
using NONMEM 7
* Optimal design course
Considering 60% of world population living in Asia, it is meaningful that the
first WCoP will be held in Asia. It is hoped that WCoP 2012 will contribute to
increasing Asian countries’ interest in pharmacometrics as well as discussing
future directions of the pharmacometrics in the world.
Seoul, the conference venue, has been very active in hosting international PKPD
symposia in recent years. As the capital city for more than 600 years since the
last dynasty of Korea, it will present you a cultural experience with a mixture
of old tradition and hi-technology during the stay.
Thank you in advance for your participation and support.
Best regards,
Kyungsoo Park
Local host, WCoP 2012

Subject: Uppsala NONMEM Workshop in Seoul
Dear all,
The Uppsala Pharmacometrics Group will give a 3-day course on Diagnostics,
Model Building and New Estimation Methods for intermediate and advanced NONMEM
users, to be held in September 27-29, 2010, in Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.
The course is part of a series of NONMEM Workshops scheduled for two years in
Seoul, and will present modeling strategies, techniques and implementations
(using NONMEM 7) for the handling of PK and PD information in population
models. The next Workshop (to be held) in 2011 will cover
Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) Modeling of Continuous, Categorical and
Time-to Event data.
The course will consist of both lectures and hands-on computer exercises using
NONMEM 7, PsN and Xpose 4. Self-instructive material is provided for further
studies and exploration of examples within the field. The participants will be
provided with a NONMEM library of example code for a wide range of methods and
diagnostics.
Prerequisite:
Experience with performing NONMEM analyses. Basic knowledge of population PK/PD
models
