PDD0030 - 006. Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics - Level 0

Course Description

Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) is a scientific discipline once primarily associated with safety evaluation in drug development that has, in the last two decades, become a core discipline within drug discovery, development, and even post-marketing. Valerie Kramlinger, Ph.D. is currently a Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) scientist at Novartis Pharmaceuticals. In this course, Dr. Kramlinger leads students through DMPK concepts. Additionally, other Vanderbilt faculty members and content experts will contribute to the course content. The overall course aims to explore the application of DMPK concepts in drug distribution, absorption, bioavailability, and multiple dosing. Students will walk away from this course with an introduction to DMPK and drug discovery.
