Pharmacometrics Africa is a platform for interested groups to establish and run open access quantitative clinical pharmacology educational programs in partnership with local research organisations and academic groups.
Pharmacometrics is an emerging discipline that uses mathematical and statistical tools to quantify drug, disease, and trial information to aid efficient drug development and/or regulatory decisions. It designs and applies mathematical models to describe the relationship between drug exposure (pharmacokinetics) and response (pharmacodynamics) for both desired and undesired effects, and aims to include in such models the effects of individual patient characteristics.
This tailored workshop on in vitro-in vivo extrapolation of metabolism, transport, and biopharmaceutics included hands-on exercises using the industry standard Simcyp Population-based Simulator for PBPK modeling, formulation development, and DDI predictions.
“Capacity building programmes for African regulators should link education, training and research with career development in an approach that combines an academic base and experiential
Delegates at WCoP2022 witnessed first-hand the potential for expanding clinical research and the science of pharmacometrics in Africa. We were especially proud to showcase the results of the capability and capacity strengthening efforts for clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics that were funded by the Foundation under this grant.
