1. A percentile approach to time-to-event outcomes
Abstract : Evaluating survival percentiles is a possible approach for the analysis of time-to-event outcomes that moves the focus from risk to time, as the proportion of events is xed and the time by which that proportion is achieved is investigated. The development of statistical methods for conditional censored quantiles has opened up the possibility to use this approach in epidemiological studies. READ MORE

2. Mixed Effects Modeling of Deterministic and Stochastic Dynamical Systems - Methods and Applications in Drug Development
Abstract : Mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are commonly used for describing the evolution of a system over time. In drug development, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) models are used to characterize the exposure and effect of drugs. READ MORE

3. Pharmacometric Models to Improve Treatment of Tuberculosis
Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) is the world’s most deadly infectious disease and causes enormous public health problems. The comorbidity with HIV and the rise of multidrug-resistant TB strains impede successful therapy through drug-drug interactions and the lack of efficient second-line treatments. READ MORE

4. Pharmacometric Models to Improve the Treatment and Development of Drugs against Tuberculosis
Abstract : With 10 million new infections yearly, tuberculosis has a major impact on the human well-being of the world. Most patients have infections susceptible to a first-line treatment with a treatment success rate of 80%, a number that can potentially be improved by optimising the first-line treatment. READ MORE

5. Pharmacometrics for Combination Therapy in Oncology Within and Across Species Variability in Time Series and Time-to-event Data
Abstract : Mathematical modeling is an integral part of the drug development process. Models are developed to describe tumor dynamics or drug concentration to answer questions such as: What concentration is required to reach the desirable treatment outcome? What drug dose and frequency should a drug prescription specify to achieve this concentration? Models are also used for simulation, reducing the need to perform additional animal trials. READ MORE
