Springer Development Of Innovative Drugs Via Modeling With Matlab A Practical Guide by Gieschke
The development of innovative drugs is becoming more difficult while relying on empirical approaches. This inspired all major pharmaceutical companies to pursue alternative model-based paradigms. The key question is: How to find innovative compounds and, subsequently, appropriate dosage regimens? Students with an undergraduate mathematical background or equivalent education, interest in life sciences and skills in a high-level programming language such as MATLAB, are encouraged to engage in model-based pharmaceutical research and development.
Key Features:-
- Concepts for creation of drug-disease models, introduced and supplemented with extensive MATLAB prog
- Guidance for exploration and modification of these programs to enhance the understanding of key prin
- Usage of differential equations to pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and (patho-) physiologic problem
- A range of topics from single exponential decay to adaptive dosing, from single subject exploration
