Focused workshop on Simcyp use in drug discovery – registration deadline approaching
Date: 01 Jan 2012
In response to requests from consortium members, Simcyp has scheduled a series of 1-2 day workshops in 2012 covering in-depth some of the major topics in model-based drug development. We are now encouraging people to secure their place at our first event ‘Use of Simcyp in Drug Discovery’ which takes place on 8th – 9th February in Sheffield, UK.
The workshop focuses on using the dynamic models in the Simcyp Simulator to prioritise compounds based on data available in early drug discovery. Working through case studies, attendees will use the Simcyp Simulator to select compounds which should be progressed to the next stage. As more information becomes available during the exercise predictions will be refined allowing some compounds to be progressed to humans. Data from first-in-human studies will be compared with the simulations and any differences rationalised using parameter estimation.
The course is ideal for scientists working in DMPK drug discovery departments. To book your place please click here.
Other 1-2 day workshops scheduled for 2012 include:
