Professor Mats O. Karlsson Mats O. Karlsson is professor of pharmacometrics at Uppsala University, Sweden. He received his PhD in pharmacokinetics in 1989 and has been a research fellow at University of Glasgow and University of California, San Francisco and a visiting professor at Georgetown University, Washington DC. He has received the Uppsala University Oscar Prize, the Giorgio Segré Prize from EUFEPS and an Honorary Fellowship Award from American Collage of Clinical Pharmacology. He is European Editor of Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics. His research interests focus on methodological aspects of non-linear mixed effects model building and applications of PKPD modeling to problems in drug development and routine drug therapy. He has published over 150 original research articles in this area.
Associate Professor Lena Friberg Lena Friberg is an Associate Professor of Pharmacometrics at Uppsala University, Sweden. Lena obtained her PhD from Uppsala University in 2003 and received a fellowship from Knut & Alice Wallenberg foundation for a 1.5 year post-doc at University of Queensland, Australia, and a 3 year research position at Uppsala University. Lena is now a researcher in pharmacometrics and a part-time lecturer. Her research is focused on development of (mechanistic) PKPD-models for effects and adverse events of drugs used in different disease areas, for example oncology, infection, schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis.
Associate Professor Andrew Hooker Andrew Hooker is an Associate Professor of Pharmacometrics at Uppsala University, Sweden. Andrew received his PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington, Seattle, USA in 2003, and then moved to Sweden as a Pfizer post-doctoral fellow at Uppsala University. His research focuses on methodological problems associated with building and evaluating pharmacometric models as well as optimal experimental design. Andrew is a primary developer of both Xpose 4 and the optimal design program PopED.
Associate Professor Ulrika Simonsson Ulrika Simonsson is an Associate Professor of Pharmacometrics at Uppsala University, Sweden. Ulrika received her PhD from Uppsala University in 2000 and spent one year as a post-doc fellow at Pharsight, Mountain View, CA. She has a 2 years experience of working at AstraZeneca where she received an innovation award for implementation of model-based drug development as well as a reward as a talented young scientist. Her research involves development of PKPD models for several therapeutic areas such as anticoagulation, tuberculosis, HIV, malaria and pain.
Radojka Savic, Ph.D. Radojka Savic joined the Pharmacometric research group at Uppsala University, Sweden in 2003 after receiving her pharmacist degree from University of Belgrade, Serbia. Since then, she has been actively working on evaluating new features of NONMEM VI. Her research interests focus on nonparametric methods for population analysis, improved diagnostics for NONMEM VI and development of new absorption models. Radojka earned her Ph.D. from the University of Uppsala in 2008.
