Model-informed Drug Development Intensive Interactive Courses

Certara UK Limited is running a Simcyp hands-on workshop discussing the changes to pharmacokinetics during pregnancy and the prediction of pharmacokinetics (including in the milk) during lactation. Population based Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) approach will be utilized to describe the pharmacokinetics during pregnancy and lactation and to determine population variability. The major topics covered are: Maternal and fetal gestational age-dependent physiological changes Prediction of maternal and fetal drug pharmacokinetics Ways of incorporating ex vivo experimental data on transplacental kinetics within the PBPK model Handling gestational age-varying covariates during simulation Prediction of PK in breastfeeding mothers and milk exposure using lactation models Prediction of infant dose for breastfed infant This course will be run using the Amazon Workspaces in Cloud; please ensure you have access to a computer. 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.

October 19-30, 2026 | ONLINE Live sessions typically run for 3hrs per day via Teams with assignments to complete out of session. Incorporating population variability into mechanistic prediction of PK and modeling PK/PD The model-informed approach to various aspects of drug development is rapidly being adopted by the leading pharmaceutical companies. The Simcyp workshops focus on the optimal use of compound-specific in vitro and in vivo data together with system specific information related to humans to simulate and understand drug behavior in various target populations. This integrated approach informs decisions related to Investigational New Drugs and assists with the conduct and optimal design of clinical studies. The ultimate aim is to better understand drug PK/PD properties, reduce the cost and time of drug development, improve the quality of regulatory submissions, and eventually implement precision medicine.
