Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (2024 Training Workshop)

This popular training workshop covers the fundamental aspects of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This two-day event takes the format of lectures introducing concept, basic theory and practical examples reinforced with data analysis and modelling and simulation. Delegates will be expected to play an active role in analysis, interpretations and discussion.

**Early bird offer available until 17 May 2024**

This popular training workshop covers the fundamental aspects of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This two-day event takes the format of lectures introducing concept, basic theory and practical examples reinforced with data analysis and modelling and simulation. Delegates will be expected to play an active role in analysis, interpretations and discussion.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided on both days.

Learning Outcomes:

To introduce the fundamental principles of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data analysis
To consider other contributory factors and processes that influence PK and PD measurements and outcomes
To appreciate and understand the importance and contribution of PK/PD by first intent to inform preclinical and clinical study design

This workshop is also supported by virtual pre-learning that will be circulated to registrants
