Dr. Toufigh Gordi to Discuss Pediatric PK Model in Rosa's World-Wide Webinar Series, "Impact of Modeling & Simulation in Drug Development"

Dr. Gordi, will present "Mechanistic PK/PD Modeling in Pediatrics" Webinar May 22, 2012.

2012-05-17

SAN CARLOS, CA, May 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Rosa & Co. LLC today announced that Dr. Toufigh Gordi, Rosa & Co, will present a webinar "Mechanistic PK/PD Modeling in Pediatrics" on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at 1:00 - 2:00 pm EDT as part of Rosa's ongoing monthly public webinar series. The purpose of the series, "Impact of Modeling & Simulation in Drug Development", is to foster the use of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) activities in biotechnology, pharmaceutics, and other life science industries. This series is geared to illustrate the advantages and applicability of M&S in product discovery, development, and marketing programs.

According to Dr. Gordi, "Drug development for pediatric patients can be difficult due to these subjects being a limited, fragile population with high safety requirements. Microdosing and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) could be an alternative methodology for neonatal PK studies. AMS-derived PK and system pharmacology models for ursodiol, a secondary bile acid, were developed for use with neonates. We investigated the utility of each model as well as investigating possible causes of the observed variability."
