Pharmetheus Pre-conference Workshop: Intro to PK-Sim

PK-Sim introduction workshop: A crash course to get you started  with OSPsuite version 12

Tuesday 21st April 2026 | IN PERSON (Radisson Blu Hotel, Basel)

Do you want to increase your capabilities to support decision making in drug development with PBPK? This one-day workshop will teach how to use and leverage the Open Systems Pharmacology (OSP) suite for translational modelling to inform First-in-Human, Drug-Drug interactions (DDI) and virtual population investigations.

A mix of hands-on and demo sessions to provide first-hand experiences for future modelling activities.

We will utilize the standardized and well-established whole body PBPK model provided in PK-Sim® and introduce supporting functionalities in R.

The workshop covers aspects such as:

  • The fundamentals in PK-Sim
  • The fundamental functionalities in the auxiliary R-package ospsuite
  • How to set up and establish PBPK models in PK-Sim
  • How to approach population simulations
  • How to retrieve reference compound files
  • How to address in-vitro in-vivo relationship in different species
  • How to perform standard DDI simulations
  • How to setup R based workflows to facilitate standardization, reproducibility and traceability
