PBPK Modeling Course
Event Information
Description
In this course, you will learn to apply an effective computational tool — physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling — to translate the results of in vitro toxicity assays into estimates of safe human exposure. This one-week course will cover the principles of PBPK modeling and the application of this technique for in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) to support risk assessments based on non-animal methods. The course features comprehensive lectures and extensive hands-on computer modeling practice. This course will prepare you to use state-of-the-art modeling & simulation techniques to assist in estimating acceptable human exposure guidelines from the results of in vitro toxicity assays.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
-
Industrial, pharmaceutical and regulatory scientists desiring to interpret the results of in vitro toxicity assays in terms of their implications for human health
-
Toxicologists and research scientists who develop or conduct in vitro toxicity assays
-
Individuals desiring to learn how to develop and apply PBPK models
-
Individuals interested in promoting the use of alternatives to live animal testing for regulatory requirements such as REACH
