Course Description
This one-week course will cover the principles of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and the application of this technique in risk assessment, drug development, in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), and estimation of exposures from human biomonitoring data. The course features comprehensive lectures and extensive hands-on computer modeling practice.

Who should attend?
This course is designed to serve a variety of scientific communities.
• Industrial, pharmaceutical and regulatory scientists desiring to interpret the
  results of in vitro or in vivo toxicity assays in terms of their implications for
  human health
• Toxicologists and research scientists who develop or conduct in vitro or in
    vivo toxicity assays
• Individuals desiring to learn how to develop and apply PBPK models
• Individuals interested in promoting the use of alternatives to live animal
  testing for regulatory requirements such as REACH

Why should you attend?
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
• Understand the fundamental concepts underlying physiologically based
  pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling.
• Describe the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of
  chemicals using mass balance differential equations.
• Build PBPK models to simulate tissue dosimetry using Berkeley Madonna®.
• Appreciate the potential uses of PBPK modeling to support in vitro to in
    vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), human health risk/safety assessment and drug
  development.
• Link PBPK modeling with other biologically based computational tools, such
  as pharmacodynamic modeling, clonal growth cancer modeling, and cell
  signal pathway modeling.
• Earn up to 30 hours of American Board of Industrial Hygiene CM credit.**
