Advanced methods of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic systems analysis.

The Ninth Workshop on Advanced Methods of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Systems Analysis was held at the Biomedical Simulations Resource Center at the University of Southern California. The speakers and attendees included a number of eminent researchers in the field of modeling and simulation in drug development. Although many of the talks were on data either previously published or presented at other meetings, it is apparent that the field as a whole is advancing with significant progress being made on directing and influencing the drug development process.
