2. The Meeting

The 12th* Annual Population Approach Group in Australia and New Zealand (PAGANZ) meeting will be held in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. A population analysis workshop is included in the PAGANZ meeting.

*=The 2006 meeting was originally announced as the 9th meeting. After discussion at the 2006 AGM it was agreed that the PAGANZA meeting should be considered as being a special meeting in 2002 and not part of the annual series. Therefore the 2006 meeting was the 8th annual meeting of PAGANZ.

Field:
Pharmacometrics, particularly regarding the design, analysis, interpretation and application of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies.

Workshop Themes:
Learning Population Analysis and NONMEM from the beginning

• A workshop teaching population analysis for beginners with no previous experience
  
• Introduction to NONMEM VI and PsN

Who should attend?
The PAGANZ meeting is the Australasian forum for scientists with a research and professional interest in the use of the population approach in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. A strong focus of this meeting is the application of population modelling and simulation techniques in the experimental, clinical and regulatory settings of drug development.

This meeting is designed for scientists and clinicians working in basic or clinical pharmacology research, pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies and postgraduate students. The meeting combines a hands on workshop lead by leaders in the field and a one day scientific meeting giving researchers the opportunity to present and discuss their own work. This is a very informal meeting and in the past has been very productive in helping and guiding researchers in this important area of pharmacology and drug development.

When:
The dates are 4th-6th February 2009. Further details will be posted soon.
