    Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies are imperative to the development of new medicines and essential in ensuring early access to medications for special populations, such as pregnant women and children. These studies allow for preliminary safety assessments, finding the appropriate dose, and evaluation of drug-drug interactions. 

    The role of clinical pharmacology has been well-established in research as well as clinical practice. Its main function in drug development is to establish a dose that is both safe and effective. In this course you will become acquainted with different techniques to describe and predict pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and learn how to apply these techniques in research and clinical practice. 

    The course exists of four online training modules. You will gain a better understanding of how to design a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic study, how to analyse pharmacology data, and how to interpret the data. 

    The course is organised by the Radboudumc Pharmacy Department and supported by the Radboudumc division of Pharmacology and Toxicology.
