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:
- Review of basic concepts.
- Empirical models for Pharmacokinetics (sums of exponentials) and Pharmacodynamics (hyperbolic).
- Mechanistic models for Pharmacokinetics (compartmental, physiological) and Pharmacodynamics (receptor-theory) and combined kinetics/dynamics (effect-compartment indirect)
- Data analysis techniques for empirical or mechanistic modelling: point estimates, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests.
- Non-parametric models for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
- Population pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics.
FEE
TO BE ADVISED
The Workshop is limited to 60 applicants only. Ability to understand and converse in English is essential. A limited number of places, at a reduced fee, are available to academic persons. Further details are available upon request to irene.sung@pkworkshops.com.
Payment
Once you have successfully registered on the course, you will receive the bank transfer details in order to pay for your workshop attendance.
