Workshop Description
IntiQuan is running a full day hands-on workshop on PK/PD and QSP modeling, simulation, and parameter estimation in the open-source and freely available R environment. The major topics covered are:
- Morning session
- PK, PKPD, QSP modeling in R. Description of models and simulation
- Reuse of models from model databases – import of SBML models to R
- NLME parameter estimation in NONMEM, MONOLIX, SAEMIX, & NLMIXR
- Generation of model diagnostics and model development tables
- Automatic reporting of modeling and simulation results in Microsoft Word
- Using R Shiny for PK modeling and reporting
- Afternoon session
- Introduction to a realistic QSP modeling example
- Robust parameter estimation based on sensitivity equations and multi-start optimization in R
- Analyzing models, informing modeling decisions, using profile likelihood
- Advanced simulation in R
- Doing QSP modeling and parameter estimation in R Shiny
After the workshop the participants will be able to write PK, PK/PD and more mechanistic QSP models, simulate them, and perform parameter estimation in supported NLME tools (such as NONMEM, MONOLIX, SAEMIX, and NLMIXR), and using a QSP type of parameter estimation method. Furthermore, participants will be able to generate standard model diagnostics and export all results to Microsoft Word.
The workshop is designed as a hands-on tutorial, allowing participants to work through all examples under guidance of the presenters. All material (slides, example models, R code, required R libraries, and additional software) will be shared with the participants. In case a participant would like to have hands-on experience during the workshop, a laptop with an R installation should be brought to the workshop. Some examples will use NONMEM and/or MONOLIX at the backend for parameter estimation, so it would be good if either of these tools were installed already. In the case that neither is available, the examples can be run with the open-source and freely available SAEMIX or NLMIXR R packages instead. No prior knowledge of either NONMEM, MONOLIX, SAEMIX, or NLMIXR is required. Basic knowledge of NLME modeling and R is of advantage.
