Workshop on Pharmaceutical Modeling and Simulation (PuMaS) Software
at JN Tata Auditorium, IISc, Bangalore

By: Dr. Vijay Ivaturi, University of Maryland, USA

Organizing Committee Members: Devang Shah and Vishwanath KM


Abstract:

Pharmacometrics is the practice of using mathematical models for decision making in drug development and clinical therapeutics. In this day-long workshop, participants will be introduced to PuMaS (Pharmaceutical Modeling and Simulation).


PuMaS is a domain-specific extension of the Julia differential equation solver libraries for performing analyses of pharmacometric models. We will start by showing users how to implement PK/PD models with complex dosing schedules and incorporating population models. Then we will turn to the process of estimating population parameters from data. Next, the capability of PuMaS to perform common pre-clinical and clinical data analytics workflows such as Non-compartmental analysis (NCA), In vitro- in vivo correlation (IVIVC), Bioequivalence (BE) and Clinical Trial Design (CTS) will be introduced.


This workshop will be a mix of demonstration and hands-on work where participants will be able to download the PuMaS software and perform the analysis in real-time. At the end of the workshop, participants will have an overview of the PuMaS toolkit and its utility in modern age computing.
