Here’s what our academic partners are saying

“One of the most valuable outcomes of our COE partnership with Certara has been the relationships we’ve built over the years with Certara personnel. This open line of communication makes it easy to discuss challenging cases, deepening our expertise and creating excellent learning opportunities for our students.”
Prof. Dr. Ronette GehringUtrecht University

“Being a Certara Center of Excellence allows our graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to learn the Phoenix Win Nonlin/NLME software, both in our coursework and their research projects with their mentors, preparing them well for their future careers in the pharmaceutical industry. Access to Certara University courses is perhaps even more valuable as supplement to what our instructors teach, with hands-on lessons and lectures from some of the “best in the business”! The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is grateful for this partnership.”
