Introduction to Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Analysis

About

Join us this summer to dive into the fascinating world of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in drug development. Discover how to design innovative studies, analyze complex data, and interpret results to ensure safe and effective dosing—even for special populations like pregnant women and children. This hands-on online course, led by renowned experts, equips you with practical skills in clinical pharmacology that you can directly apply in both research and clinical settings

Course leader

David Burger and Simon Koele

Target group

Professional, PHD, Postdoc

A master’s degree in the field of (bio)medical or (bio)pharmaceutical sciences is preferred. English proficiency is expected

Course aim

1. Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of all fields relevant to pharmacokinetic research, understand the role of bioanalytics in PK research, and interpret and critically evaluate PK studies.
2. Describe the differences between bottom-up and top-down approaches in PK modelling, perform a physiologically-based PK modelling simulation, understand to what extent pharmacokinetics parameters can predict the pharmacodynamic properties of a drug.
3. Design a non-compartmental PK study, understand how to calculate bioequivalence, and how to derive relevant pharmacokinetic parameters answering your research question.
4. Comprehend clinical implementation of pharmacokinetics and how this can contribute to drug dosing in various populations and assessment of drug-drug interactions
