Welcome to two courses on Population pharmacokinetic modeling (PopPK) and Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling (PBPK) organized by three of the leading universities in Finland! Both courses are two days, and can be taken separately or in combination.
Language: English
Course description:
Two separate courses will be organized. Participants may choose to attend either one of the courses or both.
Two-day course on PopPK:
The general aim of the course is to give an overview of population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The specific aims are:
- To help the participants to interpret the results of population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies and to apply the results in patient care.
- To give the participants a practical view on the modeling process in population pharmacokinetics via hands-on modeling exercises with MonolixSuite software (license code will be provided for the course).
Two-day course on PBPK
The aim is to give an overview of physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling (PBPK). The lectures cover both the basic theory and several applications, including modeling of drug-drug interactions, and pharmacokinetics in special patient groups. In addition, hands-on calculation sessions with PK-Sim software (freeware) are included.
Target group
The courses are intended for post-graduate students and post-doctoral scientists in pharmacy, drug discovery & development, clinical and biomedical research, and toxicology in Finland and abroad.
