East Coast Population Analysis Group
The East Coast Population Analysis Group is a forum for pharmacometricians, scientists, and researchers with an interest in modeling and population approaches to the analysis of PK/PD data, from the US East Coast region and beyond.
The ECPAG conference provides scientists and students of Pharmacometrics alike an informal forum for the presentation and discussion of their work in the application of population PK/PD modeling and simulation in pharmaceutical and drug development research, as well as the regulatory and clinical implications.
Presentations from prior ECPAG Conferences are available for downlaod in PDF format.
