Comprehensive guide to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pediatric pharmacology, clinical studies, and drug development concepts for pharmacometricians.

A high-level overview of the theories and principles at pharmacometrics’ heart — each concept with definitions, use cases, and implementation details.

Pharmacokinetics How the body handles drugs — absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination.

Pharmacodynamics How drugs act on the body — mechanisms, receptor interactions, and dose-response.

Pediatrics Special PK/PD considerations for pediatric populations.
