The 12th advanced level workshop on Pharmacokinetic - Pharmacodynamic data analysis: a hands-on residential course using WinNonlin

A 4-day residential course organized by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and the Swedish Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

For registration and further information, please see www.rpsgb.org/events or send an e-mail to Julie.Churchill@rpsgb.org  

PDF of Final Announcement

Advanced level research scientists in the pharmaceutical industry, academia, regulatory agencies and contract research firms who have a minimum of 3-5 years
of experience in PK/PD analysis and modelling.
• Participants who attended the earlier introductory workshop.
• Researchers with a working knowledge of WinNonlin who want to learn more about the advanced features of the programme.
• Primary and safety pharmacologists engaged in PKPD studies

Objectives:
An advanced and well-established residential course designed to:

• Provide an interface between the computer analysis of PK and PD data and physiological concepts.
 • Equip delegates, through lecture sessions, with an advanced understanding of all aspects of the subject, including pharmacodynamic theory, interpretation of computer output, practical experimental design, discrimination between rival models and combining data of different sources.
 • Give delegates the unique opportunity of access to the WinNonlin modeling package to undertake hands-on exercises on real-life case studies - allowing delegates to apply the concepts learnt in lecture sessions to an extensive number of real-life problems and data-sets. Users of software other than WinNonlin will also benefit from the methods discussed in the lectures and hands-on sessions.
 • Allow delegates one-to-one time with the expert course tutors in problem-solving sessions. Participants are encouraged to bring their own kinetic/dynamic data.
 • Provide reference material for use after the course through a full resource pack and relevant reference documents.
 • Allow delegates to network with course tutors and other delegates from the field through a full social programme.

Please note: all delegates will require a copy of the 4th edition of “Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Data Analysis: Concepts and Applications” (Swedish Pharmaceutical Press 2006, 1250 pages). A complimentary copy of this textbook will be given to delegates who register before Monday 15 February 2010. Delegates registering after this date must order and pay for a copy of the book in advance of the course.
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Delegates MUST bring their own laptops to the course.  Instructions on downloading WinNonlin will be provided in advance of the course.
