    conference quote

    "Embrace the New Age of Model-Based Drug Development "

    Integrate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles into the drug development to make it more rational and efficient. Join leading industry and academia experts to hear how PK-PD is implemented in their organisations to eliminate flawed candidates at the beginning of the development process and decrease risk of failure at the final stage
