ST. LOUIS
Certara, a leading provider of scientific software and consulting for model-based drug development, announced a new program to support PK/PD modeling and simulation training in China.
The Phoenix® platform will be used in a program offered by the Chinese Ministry of Education, to train Chinese students to apply PK/PD modeling and simulation to improve decision making in drug development, by simulating PK/PD outcomes before testing in animals or patients.
The training program will include a number of Phoenix tools, including:
- Phoenix WinNonlin for PK/PD modeling.
- Phoenix NLME for population PK/PD modeling.
- Phoenix Connect to develop workflows that include 3rd party tools.
- IVIVC Toolkit for Phoenix WinNonlin to support in-vitro/in-vivo correlations.
Once a student has completed the training program and successfully completed a certification exam, they will receive a certificate from the Ministry of Education that illustrates their competence in the use of the Phoenix software.
“We are pleased to support the Chinese academic community by helping them develop the next generation of experts that are capable of applying PK/PD modeling to drug development,” said Dr. Daniel Weiner, SVP and GM for Certara. “By using the Phoenix software, the Chinese clinical pharmacology community will join over 4,000 pharma, biotech and academic researchers around the globe today that are applying Phoenix WinNonlin, Phoenix NLME and other tools to support PK/PD modeling and simulation.”
