I discuss clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics topics from the perspective of drug development scientists. I share my expertise and knowledge about designing and conducting clinical pharmacology studies and discuss how to analyze the data using the most effective approaches. I draw from my experience of over 20 years working in drug development organizations and consultancies.

    Choosing an absorption model (Ep. 24)

    Choosing an absorption model (Ep. 24)

    Today’s show discussed approaches for modeling absorption profiles. I discussed the rationale behind modeling absorption and then described some common models. These included first-order absorption, zero-order absorption, transit compartments, distributed delay, Weibull, and zero/first order absorption. I also provided my recommendations on how to model absorption.

    Tackling TMDD Models (Ep. 20)

    Tackling TMDD Models (Ep. 20)

    Today’s show is about TMDD or target-mediated drug disposition models. I review the scientific and physiologic basis for TMDD models, how to review data and determine if a TMDD model is needed. I review the various modeling approaches along with my recommendations for specific TMDD models. I hope this information helps you understand how to recognize TMDD behaviors and the options for modeling that data.

    Communication for scientists (Ep. 19)

    Today’s episode is about communication for scientists. I believe that improvements in communication skills can have a greater impact on your career and work than technical skills. Michael Piperno, an expert in communication and leadership skills joins me to discuss communication challenges and solutions for clinical pharmacologists and pharmacometricians.
