I love going to the sessions and learning the latest cutting edge insights from the leaders in our field. I love walking the aisles of posters and getting to talk one-on-one with scientists about … Continued

Modeling PK/PD Systems with Distributed Delays

Many biological systems exhibit time delays. For instance, there is a delay between the time that a virus infects a cell and the onset of viral production. Mathematical models that incorporate these temporal delays are often used to characterize the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of drugs. In this blog post, I’ll discuss some examples of biological systems … Continued

Nurturing the Pharmacometricians of the Future

As a scientist, you always remember your first conference. The ability to share your research and learn from your peers is an invaluable part of any scientist’s training. That’s why I’m so proud that Certara helps support the travel and accommodation expenses for a selected number of students wishing to attend the Population Approach Group … Continued
