13 February 2008 – 15 February 2008
The 10*th Annual Population Approach Group in Australia and New Zealand (PAGANZ) meeting will be held in Dunedin New Zealand. The meeting will take place within The National School of Pharmacy, University of Otago in Dunedin.
Weather in Dunedin will be cool to warm with temperatures in the 15-25 range.
*=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.

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 led 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 13-15 February 2008.
Note that Dunedin is a University Town with a population of approximately 120,000 people. Please book your accommodation early to ensure that you get the place of your choice.

Poster or Oral Communication Abstract Submission
As part of the PAGANZ scientific meeting researchers will have an opportunity to display research poster and also present a 5 minute overview of their research with a chance for discussion by attending scientists. This has been an informal and most valuable aspect of previous meetings.
