The Art and Science of Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetics Modeling

This state-of-the-art text describes the science behind the system and drug-dependent components of PBPK models, its applications in translational and regulatory science, e.g., guiding drug discovery and development, and supporting precision medicine initiatives. To incorporate state-of-the-art knowledge, each chapter is written by leaders in the field and illustrated by clear case studies. Connecting basic and applied science, this book explores the potential of PBPK modeling for improving therapeutics and is designed for a wide audience encompassing graduate students as well as biopharmaceutics scientists and clinical pharmacologists. Features: 1. Provides a basic understanding of the physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling and its applications 2. Assists the reader in understanding product performance to allow for rapid product development and establish bioequivalence 3. Well-constructed content and added value of real examples 4. Illustrates how using available resources via modeling and simulation leads to a reduction in the costs related to drug development, which directly affects the costs to patients
