Pre-meeting workshops
Monday 25 November 2019
08:30 – 17:00 Beginner Population Approach workshop (pharmacometrics)
08:30 – 17:00 Intermediate Population Approach workshop (pharmacometrics)
Population Approach workshop (pharmacometrics)
The PAWS courses will consist of lectures and hands-on exercises using modelling programmes such as NONMEM and R. Please note that there will not be a computer room at the venue and all software will be accessed via a virtual desktop (based at the University of Otago in Dunedin). Please bring a suitable computing device to the workshop; one that has an internet browser, a USB port, and, preferably a mouse and a keyboard.
During the hands-on exercises, tutors will be available for consultation and assistance. The Beginners workshop and the Intermediate Course will be conducted as parallel sessions.
The beginners PAWS will introduce the theory and practice of population modelling with a hands on session with NONMEM and will be delivered by the Otago Pharmacometrics Research group. No prior experience is necessary.
The intermediate PAWS will introduce and run through model simulation and estimation using the open-source R-based non-linear mixed effect modelling platform nlmixr. Dr Rik Schoemaker, on behalf of the nlmixr development team, will facilitate this session. Attendance at the Intermediate workshop requires experience with the conduct of at least one population approach analysis.
The PAWS workshops include morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
Thank you to our supporters.
