Get a solid grounding in mechanistic modeling and simulation

Quantitative, model-based approaches to drug development have been identified by the FDA and other regulatory agencies as valuable tools to improve efficiency.

Our workshops focus on the optimal use of compound-specific in vitro and in vivo data, with system-specific information, to simulate and understand drug behavior in various target populations. This integrated approach informs decisions related to Investigational New Drug (IND) and New Drug Applications (NDA) and assists with the optimal design and conduct of clinical studies. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of submissions for regulatory approval.

These workshops provide a solid grounding in model-informed approaches and are not aimed solely at individuals who have hands-on experience.   They are relevant to senior level managers as well as scientists working in the fields of drug metabolism, ADME, clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, PBPK and PK/PD, in industry or in academia and research institutes.

Bastek Photo
Sebastian Polak, PhD Senior Scientific Advisor & Head of Mechanistic Dermal Modelling

Bastek leads the development of dermal models at Simcyp and cardiac safety modeling and simulation system – Cardiac Safety Simulator. He is also a tenured Professor in Biopharmaceutics at the Faculty of Pharmacy at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland.

Sibylle
Sibylle Neuhoff, PhD Sr. Principal Scientist and deputy head of Translational Science

Sibylle’s areas of expertise are drug transport and non-CYP metabolising enzymes (e.g., UGTs). Thus, she has been involved in various projects including for instance the permeability-limited models (SIVA, ADAM, PerL, and the 4Brain model as well as Mech KiM). She has also been involved in the developed of several compound files for the Simulator (digoxin, rosuvastatin, pravastatin, cyclosporine, etc.).
