Model-informed Drug Development Intensive Interactive Courses

November 16-20, 2026 | ONLINE The ABC of modelling drug transporter data: Mechanistic approaches to predict the impact of drug transport proteins on ADME, Pharmacokinetics, and Toxicity Overview: This course provides a dynamic mixture of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on exercises providing a wide-array of theory and practical know how. Live demonstrations of the simulation platforms essential for consideration in developing PBPK models with transporters are given, which will facilitate the attendees learning, driven through hands-on sessions to be attempted remotely. The hands-on sessions will be re-visited the following day with the tutors providing guidance, troubleshooting tips and facilitating interactive Q&A on the exercises. Live Online Courses There are no refunds for Live Online courses.  Certara retains the right to cancel the course 30 calendar days before the first session, in which case participants will receive a full refund.

Clinical Applications of Endogenous Biomarkers using PBPK  Tutors: Matt Harwood, Aneesh Karkhanis, Jakub Witkowski, Xian Pan Date: November 16-20, 2026 | ONLINE Time: 15:00-18:00 Daily (UK time)  Number of participants: Minimum 6 / Maximum 40  Course Title: A Hands-On Workshop to explore the clinical applications of Endogenous Biomarkers using PBPK  This workshop is ideal for those interested in developing PBPK models for endogenous biomarkers as sensitive and specific markers of ADME-related enzymes and transporters. Attendees will examine how these models assess metabolic and transporter-mediated DDI risk and how biomarkers can refine PBPK models for disease-state applications. Practical exercises will reinforce concepts and demonstrate the use of Simcyp features to develop effective endogenous biomarker models. Read more

Title: QSP at Scale with Certara IQ™ Type: In-person Date: Sunday, October 11, 2026 Time: 1-5pm Location: Chesapeake G Room, Gaylord Hotel, Maryland With hundreds of FDA and EMA submissions supported by QSP models, QSP has finally come of age. The now proven high return on investment from QSP has led to every major pharma company and a significant number of biotechs investing in QSP groups or partnering with QSP vendors. However, the vast majority of preclinical and clinical programs are still not supported by QSP. At this point, we see this not as a limitation of the value of QSP but as a challenge for implementing QSP at scale. This workshop will unveil Certara IQ™, an innovative QSP environment that enables the scaling of QSP from only supporting a small minority of projects, to supporting the entire pipeline. We will focus on four key decision points in the drug development pipeline: New Target Feasibility Determining Best in Class Properties First In Human Dose Projection Recommended Phase 2 Dose   For each, we will demonstrate how to use Certara IQ to efficiently answer these questions with worked practical examples.   Who Should Attend  Anyone looking for hands-on engagement with a QSP modeling platform, including (but not limited to):  Modelers (QSP, translational PKPD, DMPK)  Clinical pharmacology (Quantitative Pharmacology)  Project leads, R&D heads  Notes Important: Due to limited capacity, registration will be prioritized for pharma and biotech professionals directly involved in drug development decision-making. We recommend registering promptly, as we expect strong demand. This is an in-person, hands-on workshop. All participants must bring their own laptop for the hands-on components of the workshop. You will receive confirmation from the event organizer once your registration is received. You will receive a separate email prior to the workshop regarding the software license and logging in instructions. BONUS: Your registration comes with a complementary 4-week Certara IQ License.
