The Courses on Population Pharmacokinetic Modelling (PopPK) and Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling (PBPK) will take place from 22 to 25 September 2026 at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Participants may attend either the two-day PopPK or PBPK course, or both. The courses provide a comprehensive introduction to pharmacokinetic modelling through expert lectures and hands-on exercises using MonolixSuite and PK-Sim software. Topics include population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling, drug-drug interactions, pharmacogenetics, in vitro–in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE), and applications in patient care and chemical risk assessment. The practical sessions will enable participants to apply modelling approaches using real-world examples and specialised software.

Target audience
These courses are particularly relevant for postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers in pharmacy, drug discovery and development, clinical and biomedical research, and toxicology. They are also suitable for professionals interested in developing practical skills in PopPK and PBPK modelling and their applications in research, healthcare, and regulatory science.
