New Course: MI260+
UPDATE: This course has ended. Thanks to all those who participated!
We are pleased to announce a new hands-on, intensive 3-day course (MI260+) scheduled for September 2, 3, and 4, 2009 in Cambridge, MA. This offering will combine an introduction to WinBUGS for pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic applications with a detailed overview of Bayesian model-based meta analysis.
Getting Started with Bayesian PK-PD Modeling (Day 1): This introductory course covers the basics of Bayesian modeling theory and the use of WinBUGS for PK-PD applications, including running WinBUGS from R, nonlinear mixed effects models for PK and PD endpoints, population PK, BQL data, and the new BUGSModelLibrary for PKPD applications.
Model-Based Meta-Analysis to Support Decision Making in Clinical Drug Development (Days 2 and 3): MI260 provides an introduction to model-based meta-analysis of summary data or combinations of summary and individual data, and the rationale for applying Bayesian modeling methods to these problems. Hands-on modeling topics, using WinBUGS include dose-response models for landmark and longitudinal summary and individual data, as well as population simulations from meta-analysis models.
Location: Le Meridien Hotel, 20 Sidney Street, Cambridge, MA
Hardware/Software: Participants will be expected to bring their own Windows-based laptop, and software installation instructions will be provided separately. All software tools are freely available or open-source.
