Summary

Join this interactive workshop to explore how Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD) approaches can accelerate decision-making across the drug development lifecycle — from early discovery to market access.​

​Through expert-led sessions and real-world case studies, participants will learn how modeling and simulation approaches, including QSP, PBPK, and Pharmacometrics, can support data-driven decision-making, optimize development strategies, and generate quantitative insights throughout the drug development process.

Benefits of the event

  • Understand the role of MIDD in accelerating drug development and improving decision-making​
  • Explore real-world applications of QSP, PBPK, and Pharmacometrics across different therapeutic modalities​
  • Learn how modeling approaches support complex modalities, special populations, DDIs, and dose optimization​
  • Gain insights into quantitative strategies for regulatory submissions and market access in global markets​
  • Discover software solutions that enable scalable modeling and simulation workflows
