Features:

• Teaches Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic concepts to undergraduate and graduate scientists
• Meets the requirements for courses in Quantitative Pharmacology (Pharmacometrics)
• Uses over 100 real-life Case Studies
• Encourages students to apply the methods outside of the classroom
• Requires very little calculus or statistical methods

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Data Analysis: Concepts and Applications teaches everyday biological data analysis to the undergraduate and graduate levels. Through numerous examples and over 100 tutorials, scientists learn how to use PKPD seamlessly in a variety of practical areas, from simple plasma kinetics, multi-compartment models, nonlinear kinetics, plasma protein binding, pharmacodynamic models, turnover concepts, receptor binding, functional adaptation and rebound, dose-response-time data analysis, inter-species scaling, target mediated drug disposition, and a lot more. The text develops a logical, real-world approach to data and reasoning, showing the reader how to:

• Think both analytically and visually about data
• Use graphics to make a point
• Improve your pattern recognition ability
• Make sound decisions
• Strategize your data analyses
• Appreciate more fully the exciting field of Quantitative Pharmacology

Going beyond mere numerics and calculations, this textbook helps the reader become life-long learners exceeding the confines of a course. They will find that with little more PK/PD concepts, their daily professional lives will be more productive, understandable, and creative.
