Applied BioMath (www.appliedbiomath.com), the industry-leader in applying systems pharmacology and mechanistic modeling, simulation, and analysis to de-risk drug research and development, today announced they will host Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) Day November 12, 2019 from 2-7p.m. at the AC Hotel by Marriott San Francisco Airport/Oyster Point Waterfront in South San Francisco, CA.
In its fourth year, QSP Day is a free event with the goal of fostering an active community of those interested in QSP, systems, and mechanistic modeling. Originally occurring in Cambridge, MA for the first three years, this is the inaugural QSP Day in South San Francisco, CA. The event features presentations from key industry and academic researchers, a poster session, and networking time with peers. This year's speakers include:
- Rupert Davies, PhD, Director, Pharmacokinetics Zymeworks
- Qianhui (Jess) Wu, PhD Candidate, Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California
- James Lu, PhD, Senior Scientist, Modeling and Simulation, Clinical Pharmacology, Genentech
- John Desjarlais, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Xencor
"We have seen tremendous success with our QSP events on the east coast and look forward to cultivating a QSP community on the west coast, especially around San Francisco," said John Burke, PhD, Co-founder, President and CEO, Applied BioMath. "We hope to learn from one other, help introduce graduate students and postdocs to modeling in industry and spread the word about systems modeling and simulation at this meeting."
The event will also feature a poster session (please feel free to reuse posters). Poster abstracts will be accepted from all undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, industry (biotechs and pharma) scientists and staff in any computational biology field, including, quantitative biology, bioinformatics, machine learning/artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, biochemistry, biophysics, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering work pertaining to R&D in pharma and biotech.
