October 08, 2014

Certara consultants will present a total of five seminars and five posters at ACoP5 being held from Oct. 12-15 in Las Vegas, Nev.

ST. LOUIS, MO – Oct. 8, 2014 – Certara®, the leading global technology-enabled drug development and drug safety consultancy, today announced that its Simcyp and Pharsight consultants will present a total of five seminars and five posters at the fifth American Conference on Pharmacometrics (ACoP5) being held from Oct. 12-15 at the Mirage Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nev.

“ACoP is an important conference which highlights the indispensable role that drug (PK/PD), disease, and clinical trial models play in the drug development process,” said Certara’s Managing Director of Pharsight Consulting Services Europe René Bruno, Ph.D. “Once developed, these models can be used to simulate untested new clinical scenarios, inform go/no-go decisions, dose selection, trial design and labeling. We are proud to make such a significant contribution to this year’s meeting.”
