THE SHEINER ROWLAND ADVANCED COURSE IN PHARMACOKINETICS & PHARMACODYNAMICS
Dates: Sunday -- Friday May 3 - May 8, 2009
The Center for Drug Development Science
UCDC Campus
1608 Rhode Island Ave. NW
Washington, DC USA
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 course manual, 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 modelling:
point estimates, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests.
. Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
. Disease progress and drug action modelling
. Optimal design
Faculty:
Leon Aarons is a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in
the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of
Manchester, UK. His research interest is in population and
physiologically-based pharmacokinetics. He is co-editor of the Journal
of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics and executive editor of the
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
Nick Holford is Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at the
University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. He has been involved
in PKPD modelling for over 30 years. He has a particular interest in
describing disease progression and the influence of drug treatments on
disease.
Mats Karlsson is Professor of Pharmacometrics at the Faculty of
Pharmacy, Uppsala University, Sweden. Since 1994, his research group
has focused on methodological aspects of nonlinear mixed effects model
building and applied PKPD modelling.
France Mentré is Professor of Biostatistics at the University Paris
Diderot (Paris 7), France. She heads an INSERM research team on
Methods and Models for therapeutic assessment in chronic diseases.
She has worked on development and application of methods for nonlinear
mixed-effects models in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for more
than 20 years
Stephen Duffull is Professor of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of
Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. He runs a modelling and simulation lab
within the School of Pharmacy. Research interests include optimal
design, MCMC methods particularly in clinical toxicology and the
influence of obesity on PKPD. He has been involved in the area of PKPD
and nonlinear mixed effects modelling for more than 10 years.
COURSE FEE:
$3600 including breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, reception, and one
evening dinner.
