Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
PHA 6122 Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics

Credits

This is a 3-credit course.

Description

Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics is a 3-credit course that provides students with an in-depth understanding of the theoretical concepts as well as hands-on applications in population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling using both continuous and non-continuous data. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to understand nonlinear mixed-effect modeling theory and implementation, data formatting, population PK/PD model development as well as evaluation criteria, and Monte Carlo simulation. This course aims to expose students to multiple population PK/PD software platforms, including Monolix, Pumas and Phoenix.
