Maximizing Oligonucleotide Therapeutic Development: How They Work

This is the first of three blog posts discussing best practices for developing oligonucleotides. Interest in oligonucleotide therapies, which are composed of short strands of DNA or RNA, is growing rapidly; there are at least 135 of them currently in development.1 Underscoring their proliferation, a PubMed search for “oligonucleotide therapeutics” generated more than 35,000 hits. … Continued

The Model-informed Precision Dosing Revolution Is Coming

Modeling and simulation (M&S) has been widely accepted and adopted by biopharmaceutical companies and global regulatory agencies. However, its implementation in clinical care has been modest to date. Model-based approaches are essential to realize the goal of precision dosing—providing the right drug dose to maximize therapeutic benefit, while reducing risk for each individual patient. The … Continued

Inside the Mind of Pharmacometrics Pioneer, Professor Malcolm Rowland

Officially, Prof. Malcolm Rowland has retired. This scientific pioneer has been helping lay the foundation of a mechanistic understanding of pharmacokinetics since the 1960s. So you might think that he’d be ready for quieter pursuits. But this professor emeritus at the University of Manchester has no plans to stop actively teaching and guiding the pharmaceutical industry’s … Continued

Back to the Future (of Pharmacometrics) with Dr. Lawrence Lesko

Pharmacometrics uses mathematical models of biology, pharmacology, disease, and physiology to describe and quantify interactions between drugs and patients, including beneficial effects and adverse effects. I recently had the pleasure of talking to a thought leader, Dr. Lawrence Lesko, about the history of pharmacometrics and how it will continue to shape drug development in the … Continued
