All courses offered by the uppsala pharmacometrics group are intensive, all-day courses that include both lectures and hands-on exercises.
Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic modeling of Continuous and Categorical data in NONMEM
(A NONMEM Workshop for intermediate and advanced users)
Tailored for Intermediate and Advanced NONMEM users. The course presents modeling strategies, techniques and implementations for the handling of PK and PD information in population models. PD models for continuous data as well as binary, ordered categorical, count, and (repeated) time to event data will be discussed. The course will also cover the latest methods for evaluation of continuous and categorical PK/PD models.
The course will consist of both lectures and hands-on computer exercises using NONMEM 7, PsN and Xpose 4. Self-instructive material is provided for further studies and exploration of examples within the field. The participants will be provided with a NONMEM library of example code for a wide range of PKPD models applied in different disease areas.
Length of course: 2.5 days . Instructors: Mats Karlsson, Lena Friberg, Andrew Hooker, Ulrika Simonsson
New features and advanced methods for model building and evaluation in NONMEM
(A NONMEM Workshop for intermediate and advanced users)
This course presents some of the most exciting new features of NONMEM and how these tools can be used in the development and evaluation of non-linear mixed effects models.
Date and location of next course:Not scheduled
Length of course: 2.5 days.
Instructors: Mats Karlsson, Radojka Savic, Andrew Hooker Additional information
Optimal experimental design
This course gives an introduction to the topic of optimal experimental design. Specifically emphasized will be optimal design of non-linear mixed effects (population) models, which can be especially useful in pre-clinical and clinical drug trials. Both the theoretical and practical aspects of optimal design will be presented, including an introduction to the software PopED developed by the course organizers. The course includes both lectures and hands-on computer exercises done in small groups.
