Certara Scientists Participate in 14 Presentations at 6th American Conference on Pharmacometrics
October 02, 2015
Diverse agenda underscores the widespread adoption of pharmacometrics throughout the drug development process
PRINCETON, NJ – Oct. 02, 2015 – Certara®, the global biosimulation technology-enabled drug development company, today announced that its scientists are presenting or co-authoring 14 workshops, seminars and poster sessions at the sixth American Conference on Pharmacometrics (ACoP6). This annual International Society of Pharmacometrics (ISoP) conference will be held in Crystal City, VA from Oct. 4-7, 2015.
“Pharmacometrics is now an integral part of the drug development process. It can predict drug exposure levels based on patient and drug characteristics. Sponsors and regulatory agencies use pharmacometrics to determine dosing for select patient populations. Finally, it can predict drug-drug interactions and inform labeling decisions,” said Certara Chief Executive Officer Edmundo Muniz, M.D., Ph.D. “We are proud to play such an active role in this important global pharmacometrics conference.”
The Certara team also congratulated its Simcyp® Scientific Advisory Board member, Dr. Lawrence Lesko. He has received the 2015 ISoP Leadership Award for his sustained guidance, mentorship and outreach. The award will be presented during the ACoP6 opening session from 5:30 - 6:15 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3.
