Graduate Research Training Program:
Pharmacometrics & Computational Disease Modelling
What is pharmacometrics?
How to find the right drug and the right dosing regimen for a patient? How to make use of the wealth of information available - about the drug, the patho-/physiology, in vitro, nonclinical and clinical data? Pharmacometrics is the integrative science using in silico models to understand the drug-patient-disease relationships and to optimise drug therapy for better outcomes. Eager to learn more?
Am I right here?
Are you about to finish or have you just finished your studies in pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, mathematics, bioinformatics, or some related field? Are you looking for a PhD in a fascinating research area at the intersection of clinical pharmacy and applied mathematics? Or are you a 1st year PhD student and looking for top-class training modules and a network of peers? Then you are right here!
What does PharMetrX offer?
We offer two programs: the PharMetrX Research+ Program and the PharMetrX Training+ Program. The first comprises an excellent research environment in the vibrant Berlin/Potsdam area, fascinating research projects in a highly relevant field, truly transdisciplinary supervision, and a competitive fellowship. Both programs offer a tailored training curriculum plus a network of peers. Interested?
