MASTER 2 l
Mention : Sciences du Médicament et des Produits de Santé.
PHARMACOKINETIC / PHARMACODYNAMIC MODELLING
Keywords : Pharmacokinetics (PK), Pharmacodynamics (PD), Modelling, Statistics, Programming, Data analysis, Drug Development, Precision dosing
BACKGROUND From drug development to dose individualization in clinical settings, model-informed approaches have become essential to solve dose optimization issues.
The aim of this Master Degree is to teach the statistical, pharmacological and programming basics necessary to understand, build and take advantage of PK/PD models.
