Simcyp Principal Scientists to lead session at eCheminfo Predictive ADME and Toxicology Workshop
Date: 27 Jul 2010
Dr Sebastian Polak and Dr David Turner have been invited to lead a half-day workshop at next week’s predictive ADME and toxicology event organised by eCheminfo. The five-day, hands-on workshop, which will run from 2nd – 6th August, is being held at the Medical Sciences Teaching Centre at Oxford University, UK.
eCheminfo is a global community of practice (CoP) dedicated to the communication of research and development in cheminformatics, bioinformatics and modelling relevant to drug discovery. The workshops aim to provide a set of stimulating hands-on problem-solving activities using the latest advanced modelling and analysis techniques and case studies relevant to research scientists, modellers, risk assessors, and product developers needing to predict the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) and toxicity of chemical compounds.
Workshop groups will study problems with hands-on examples using leading-edge methods and software, and discuss complex issues highlighted by examples presented by instructors. A case study set will be used to link all workshop activities throughout the week. Software packages and an IT classroom will be used by instructors and participants to work through predictive ADME and toxicology problems. Participants have been invited to propose problems and issues to the faculty ahead of the workshop.
The Simcyp workshop, on Wednesday 4th August, is entitled ‘Population-varied physiologically-based ADME simulation for in vitro-in vivo extrapolation and exposure estimation.’
