Prerequisites Before attending this course, attendees should be familiar with creating models using PML (Phoenix Modeling Language). Participants should also be able to perform the tasks in the following Certara University courses: Introduction to Population Modeling using Phoenix NLME (On-Demand 101-OD) Intermediate Population Modeling using Phoenix NLME (On-Demand 201-OD) Instructor Carlos Rodríguez, Ph.D. Director, Clinical Pharmacology and PK/PD, PharmaPolaris International, Inc. Carlos Rodríguez has over 25 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry in the areas of Clinical and Preclinical Pharmacokinetics, Drug Metabolism, Clinical Pharmacology, and Pharmacometrics. Dr. Rodríguez obtained a B.S. in Pharmacy from the University of Puerto Rico in 1986, and Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics from The University of Michigan in 1991. He joined The Upjohn Company in 1991 as a Scientist supporting preclinical pharmacokinetics and bioanalysis in the areas of CNS, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular, and anti-infectives. In 1997 he joined the clinical pharmacology unit (then Pharmacia & Upjohn), where he supported development projects in CNS and infectious diseases. In 2001, he became Associate Director of Pharmacokinetics at Chiron Corporation, where he supported small and large molecule programs in anti-infectives, oncology, and organ transplantation. In 2005, he became Director of Clinical Pharmacology at Roche Palo Alto, where he had direct responsibility over the clinical pharmacology development aspects of compounds in the anti-infective and inflammation therapeutic areas, including small and large molecules. He joined PharmaPolaris in 2007. Dr. Rodríguez has been involved in numerous IND submissions and participated in at least 10 NDA filings. In addition to Clinical Pharmacology, his research interests include Renal Drug Transport, Pharmacostatistical Modeling, Clinical Trial Simulation, and Population PK/PD. Dr. Rodríguez serves in the faculty of The University of Michigan, where he is Adjunct Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and in the faculty of the University of the Pacific, where he is Adjunct Professor of Pharmaceutics and Medicinal Chemistry. He lectures at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the areas of Pharmacokinetics, Physical Pharmacy, and Pharmacometrics. Read more
