Our pharmacometrics group is looking for bright and motivated candidates to join our modelling team within the Division of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Cape Town.
Pharmacometrics is an emerging discipline that uses mathematical and statistical tools to quantify drug, disease, and trial information to aid efficient drug development and/or regulatory decisions. It designs and applies mathematical models to describe the relationship between drug exposure (pharmacokinetics) and response (pharmacodynamics) for both desired and undesired effects, and aims to include in such models the effects of individual patient characteristics.
Our group has established PK/PD modelling expertise in the disease areas of tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria. It is active internationally and enjoys on-going collaborations and exchange programs with some of the main pharmacometric research groups worldwide.
Scholarships at both PhD student and postdoc level are available, please refer to the links below for more details.
