PHAR69924 15 Semester 2 Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Kayode Ogungbenro Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 <p>This unit focuses on current problems in drug development that are being addressed with the help of modelling and simulation. Students are presented with case studies (lectures and tutorial sessions) that highlight the value of pharmacometric modelling and innovations in modelling methods. Students will conduct a literature review and critique of a focussed area of pharmacometrics, modelling and simulation and will construct a modelling project proposal which will usually provide the basis for the MSc dissertation after completion of this unit.</p> <p>This unit focuses on current problems in drug development that are being addressed with the help of modelling and simulation.
