ACoP7 is shaping up to be the most comprehensive ACoP to date! We hope that you will be able to join us October 23rd – 27th in Bellevue (Eastside Seattle) Washington. The ACoP7 program includes 17 symposia with lectures on a wide-range of topics including quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP), physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, PKPD and dose response analyses, advances in model building approaches, in vitro in vivo correlation (IVIVC), as well as application of pharmacometrics in drug development to inform decision making and optimize dose finding studies. (ACoP7 Program)
Some highlights of the ACOP7 meeting.
Dedicated Pediatric Pre-Conference: “What is the Role of Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics in Bringing New Medicines to this Special Population” this day long meeting will highlight the challenges in pharmacometrics session will feature innovative talks. It will also feature a pediatric themed poster session.
Keynote Speaker, Malcolm Rowland: Pharmacokinetics: “Reflections and the Big Picture”
State-of-the-Art Lecturer, Jaime Caro: “DICE Simulation: a shotgun marriage or wedded bliss for pharmacometrics and pharmacoeconomics?”
QSP Track: For the QSP community, this year will feature concurrent sessions with a QSP-theme throughout the entire meeting. There will also be a special Open Forum session on ‘Making QSP Happen: Strategies and Lessons Learned from Experts Who’ve Done It’ sponsored by ISoP QSP Special Interest Group (SIG). Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet the leadership of the QSP SIG. and new for 2016, we will add a Student Award sponsored by QSP-SIG.
Statistics/Pharmacometrics Interest Group Topics: This year, ISOP has initiated a joint SIG with the American Statistical Association related to topics of mutual interest. You will have the opportunnity to meet with members of the SIG to discuss ideas around issues and topics of common interest in these closely aligned quantitative fields. There will also be a special joint SIG-endorsed session entitled “Evaluation and optimization of dose finding studies”.
Highlighting the Best submitted works in our session: Based on your feedback, we have added an opportunity to highlight abstracts identified as outstanding as oral presentations in individual sessions.
Students: Students make up nearly a quarter of our attendees, and we have created unique opportunities throughout the meeting for students to network with their peers and to learn new skills. This year will feature both student-specific luncheons, as well as new student-specific training tutorials. With a deeply discounted registration for students, ACoP7 offers a unique opportunity for students to both learn new skills and to network.
Open Science and Consortia Approaches: This year’s meeting will feature a tutorial focused on raising awareness of various consortia that are ongoing in our field. It will also mark the start for planning of open-Science Communities of Practice within ISoP, including plans for ISoP to work with the Critical Path Institute.
Standards and Best Practices: Come meet with the Standards and Best Practices Committee to learn about all the ongoing work that ISoP is undertaking to set standards for data preparation and for model evaluation.
Vendor Workshops and Exhibits: There will be vendor sponsored workshops, presentations, posters and exhibits demonstrating the latest updates in tools and technologies.
Global Attendance: Last year we welcomed attendees from 23 countries. Take this chance to network with friends and colleagues from across the globe.
