Dear all,
This is a reminder that the Uppsala Pharmacometrics group will be having two NONMEM Workshops for intermediate and advanced users immediately before and after the ASCPT meeting in Washington D.C. in March: 1. Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic modeling of Continuous and Categorical data in NONMEM - March 16-18 2. New features and advanced methods for model building and evaluation in NONMEM VI - March 21-23 Don't miss out! Workshops can be taken together or separately. For more information see below or visit www.uppsala-pharmacometrics.com. Best regards Andy Andrew Hooker, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Pharmacometrics Div. of Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy Dept. of Pharmaceutical Biosciences Uppsala University Box 591, 751 24, Uppsala, Sweden Phone: +46 18 471 4355 Mobile: +46 701 679 048 <http://www.farmbio.uu.se/research.php?avd=5> www.farmbio.uu.se/research.php?avd=5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Brief information for workshop 1: The course presents modeling strategies, techniques and implementations (using NONMEM) for the handling of PKPD information in population models. PD models for continuous data as well as binary, ordered categorical, count and time to event data will be discussed. The course will include new models and methods for evaluation of models. The course will consist of both lectures and hands-on computer exercises using NONMEM VI, PsN and Xpose 4. The participants will be provided with a library of NONMEM code for the entire field as well as self-instructive material for further studies and exploration of examples for a wide range of PKPD models applied in different disease areas. The course will be given by Prof. Mats Karlsson, Dr Lena Friberg, Dr Andrew Hooker and Dr Ulrika Simonsson. A prerequisite for the course is experience with performing NONMEM analyses and basic knowledge of PK/PD models. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Brief information for workshop 2: During the last decade they have been involved in the testing and evaluation of NONMEM VI as it has been developed and several research projects have focused on new functionality in NONMEM VI. In parallel, diagnostics for model building have been developed, evaluated and integrated into NONMEM VI-adapted versions of the freeware programs Perl-speaks-NONMEM (PsN) and Xpose 4. In this course the Uppsala group will present some of the most exciting new features of NONMEM VI and how these tools can be used in the development and evaluation of non-linear mixed effects models. The course will be given by Prof. Mats Karlsson, Dr Andrew Hooker and Dr Radojka Savic. A prerequisite for the course is experience with performing NONMEM analyses or having attended a NONMEM basic workshop. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Course Fees (per workshop): Regular fee: 2800 USD Academic/Government fee: 1800 USD Registration fee includes: hardcopy folder, extensive electronic material including lectures, exercises, programs (PsN and Xpose), additional self-study material including hands-ons and solutions. Continental breakfast, morning and afternoon refreshments, lunch and a welcome reception are included. Attendance is strictly limited to 50 with a limited "reduced fee" places available for academic/government participants. Registration and academic fees will be offered on the basis of first come, first served.
