Certara’s contributions include scientific workshops, presentations, and posters
PRINCETON, NJ – June 2, 2016 – Certara®, the global biosimulation technology-enabled drug development company, today detailed the active role it is taking in the Population Approach Group in Europe (PAGE) 2016 Annual Meeting. PAGE is a UK-based, nonprofit organization, which is committed to taking a population approach to data analysis. This year’s conference will be held from June 7-10 at the University of Lisbon in Lisbon, Portugal.
“Our strong presence at the PAGE 2016 Annual Meeting underscores the growing adoption of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling throughout the drug development spectrum from pre-clinical into clinical care,” said Certara Chief Executive Officer Edmundo Muniz, MD, PhD. “Sponsors and global regulatory agencies are increasingly requiring PBPK data to make drug labeling decisions, and clinicians are embracing the discipline’s ability to provide precision dosing for individual patients.”
“Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) is also beginning to demonstrate its power to explain the relationships between dose and pharmacological response and the inter-relationship with the disease and its progression,” said Certara’s Simcyp President Steve Toon, BPharm, PhD. “Young drug development scientists know that PBPK and QSP will be integral technologies to their careers and they are keen to learn more about them.”
