Educational event to take place prior to 2009 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition

WHO: The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) is a professional, scientific society of approximately 12,000 members employed in industry, academia, government and other research institutes worldwide. Founded in 1986, AAPS provides a dynamic international forum for the exchange of knowledge among scientists to enhance their contributions to public health. AAPS offers timely scientific programs, on-going education, information resources, opportunities for networking, and professional development.

WHAT: AAPS is pleased to present the workshop on Quantitative Model-based Drug Development in Drug Discovery and Translational Research. This event will consist of a combination of lectures, case studies, and break-out sessions related to this rapidly evolving area.

WHY: The purpose of this workshop is to provide basic education and hands-on training on technical and theoretical aspects of preclinical Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling. Concepts and fundamental principles of PK/PD modeling and simulation will be introduced, case studies will be discussed, and strategies to overcome challenges such as silo-structure, interdisciplinary communication, and decision-making infrastructure will be touched on as well.

WHEN: November 7, 2009
Los Angeles Convention Center
