Participants of the 9th 'PKPD of Protein Therapeutics' pharmacometric training course 2019
Hand-on exercises will be performed in demonstrations and as work assignments. There is no prior modeling experience required.

The course has been held annually since 2011 in a 5-day version and since 2016 also in a 3-day version in North America, Europe and Asia. It has been attended by several hundred scientists from large and small pharma (including companies such as Abbvie, Amgen, AstraZeneca/MedImmune, Bayer, Biogen-Idec, Bristol-Myers, Boehringer, Janssen, EMD Serono, Genentech, Merck, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Regeneron, Sanofi, and Roche), academic institutions, and major regulatory agencies.
Testimonials from previous participants:

"Good course all around. Lots to digest and good ammunition to take back to project teams and management!"

"This course was really a good opportunity to learn PK-PD of proteins. I will definitely apply the concepts in my research and encourage my peers to attend the course."

"I was very impressed with the course. I was wishing I had attended long ago before I started any work with biologics. My projects would have gone a lot smoother had I had this knowledge earlier. Almost wished it was longer, though that would be difficult, because there was so much to learn!"

"Best course ever!"
