PK / PD Expert Meeting 2016

Pharmacokinetics / Pharmacodynamics

20. Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics Expert Meeting

From April 14 till April 16, 2016
Event location: Novotel Berlin Am Tiergarten (Link)

Presentations and associated discussions will focus on the following topics:

  • Systems Pharmacology
    Methods, Applications, Opportunities and Challenges
  • Dose Finding in Phase II for Confirmatory Clinical Trials
    Overview, Methods, Good Practices and Examples
  • PK/PD of Locally Applied Drugs
    Considerations for (Sub-)Cutaneous and Ocular Administration of Pharmaceuticals

Since 2012 generous donations have enabled the Organizing Committee of the PK/PD Expert Meeting to reward outstanding contributions by young scientists to the PK/PD field with the Hans Günter Schäfer Award issued in memory of the original initiator of the PK/PD Expert Meeting.

In this year, we would like to congratulate

Dr. Swantje Völler, Leiden Academic Center for Drug Research (LACDR), Leiden University, for her publication "Age-Dependent Pharmacokinetics of Doxorubicin in Children with Cancer", Clin Pharmacokinet. 2015. 54:1139-1149. DOI 10.1007/s40262-015-0272-4 ( Link )

Jens Markus Borghardt, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG, Biberach, for his publication "Investigating pulmonary and systemic pharmacokinetics of inhaled olodaterol in healthy volunteers using a population pharmacokinetic approach", British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 2015. DOI:10.1111/bcp.12780 ( Link )

We thank Prof. Dr. Henning Blume for the sponsorship of this award which included free participation at the PK/PD Expert Meeting and the opportunity to present key results of their work during the meeting in addition to the prize money.
