Here is some information on an upcoming Pharmcokinetics meeting in the UK...


PHARMACOKINETICS - WORKSHOP FOR BEGINNERS

Pharmacokinetics and metabolism are now accepted as key disciplines in drug development providing an insight into differences in drug action within and between species. Unfortunately for many people it is also one of the more complex to understand and to put into practice, particularly with the new approaches such as in-vivo metabolism, genetic polymorphism, interaction studies, kinetic-dynamic modelling, bioavailability, population kinetics, biotechnology etc. The lecturers who come from academia, industry and the regulatory agency have many years'experience in this area. They will provide information on the use and benefits of pharmacokinetics in drug development and how it affects drug discovery.

This one-day course is intended to provide a basic knowledge and understanding of the main principles and concepts of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics as opposed to an appreciation of their place and utility in drug development. The meeting will provide a theoretical overview and will be a useful grounding for the following intermediate course. There will be equations, but they will be small ones!
