Certara Establishes KSU College of Veterinary Medicine as Latest Phoenix Center of Excellence
February 05, 2013
Collaboration to strengthen PK/PD modeling approaches used in animal health
ST. LOUIS, MO – February 5, 2013 – Certara™, a leading provider of software and scientific consulting services to improve productivity and decision-making from drug discovery through clinical development, announced that the Institute of Computational Comparative Medicine (ICCM) at Kansas State University has been named a Phoenix® Center of Excellence.
Certara has developed Phoenix, the leading PK/PD modeling and simulation platform, to support non-compartmental analysis, population PK/PD modeling and simulation, and IVIVC analysis. This partnership will focus on the application, validation and extension of the Phoenix platform to support studies in veterinary medicine, from toxicology to animal health. Dr. Jim Riviere recently formed the Institute of Computational Comparative Medicine (ICCM) to develop unique computational medicine capabilities that will apply to animal studies and to advance the general state of the field.
“The work we are focused on could reduce the number of animal studies required for drug approval,” said Dr. Jim Riviere, Director of the ICCM. “It could improve the determination of withdrawal times of drugs in animals with diseases; it could support the modeling of chemical risk assessment. There are many opportunities to advance veterinary medicine by using modeling and simulation methods combined with experimental data to form a quantitative framework for decision making.”
“Certara currently has six Phoenix Centers of Excellence that are focused on leveraging Phoenix to support clinical pharmacology and to train the next generation of practitioners,” said Dr. Daniel Weiner, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Certara. “We are pleased to work with Kansas State University to begin advancing the use of Phoenix to support animal health studies, aimed at both improving animal medicine as well as the reduction of animals used in clinical trials.”
