Pharsight to Present on Its Vision for Modeling and Simulation Software at PAGE Annual Meeting
Dr. Robert Leary will discuss computational methods for model evaluation; Dr. Mike Dunlavey will present simplified programming approaches of population model user interfaces.
Mountain View, CA-June 12, 2008-Pharsight Corporation, a leading provider of software, strategic consulting, and regulatory services for optimizing clinical drug development, today announced that Pharsight software development experts will deliver two poster presentations at the Population Approach Group in Europe (PAGE) 17th Annual Meeting in Marseille, France from June 18–20, 2008. Robert Leary, PhD, fellow, Pharsight Research and Development Group, will present work on computational methods for model evaluation. Mike Dunlavey, PhD, fellow, Pharsight Research and Development Group, will present new approaches on simplified programming of population model user interfaces.
These poster sessions will provide a forum for pharmaceutical scientists from industry and academia to have scientific discussion and collaborative exchange on model-based approaches. Pharsight's two presentations are:
• June 18: Simplified Programming of Population Model User Interfaces. Dr.
Dunlavey will present a differential execution algorithm that allows a
"painting" paradigm (called Dynamic Dialogs) as an alternative to
event-based programming. This programming paradigm simplifies
implementation of software products with complex graphical displays and
user interface requirements.
• June 19: Nonparametric Analogs to POSTHOC Estimates for Exploratory
Data Analysis. Dr. Leary will present a nonparametric model evaluation
method to complement commonly used approaches for exploratory data
analysis of possible covariate relationships. This work builds on
applied research presented by industry colleagues at past PAGE
conferences and on Dr. Leary's earlier work in the area of nonlinear
mixed effects (NLME) analysis.
"The development of advanced computational tools and next generation programming languages are integral to the continued growth of model-based drug development," said Shawn O'Connor, president, chief executive officer, and chairman of Pharsight. "We continue to develop technology to remain on the cutting edge of the industry and to create solutions that meet our customers' specific needs. Pharsight looks forward to presenting on specific elements of our vision for the future of model-based drug development, and is proud to again have such a wide presence at PAGE this year."

AI in Clinical Trials: A Long, But Promising Road Ahead
May 29th 2024Stephen Pyke, chief clinical data and digital officer, Parexel, discusses how AI can be used in clinical trials to streamline operational processes, the importance of collaboration and data sharing in advancing the use of technology, and more.
Including Women of Childbearing Age in Clinical Research
March 26th 2024In recognition of International Women's Month, we're featuring this recent talk between Associate Editor Miranda Schmalfuhs and Marie Teil, Global Head of UCB’s Women of Childbearing Age Program. They speak about the specific challenges women with chronic illnesses face when accessing appropriate treatment and participating in clinical trials, UCB's Women of Childbearing Age Program and it’s most successful strategies, and much more.
