Pharmaceutical sciences research recognized at the 2019 American Conference on Pharmacometrics

The theme of ACoP10 was “Modeling without Borders,” which highlights ISoP’s objectives of “globalization and collaboration” of pharmacometrics groups, methods, tools and its impact on global health.

SUNY Distinguished Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences William J. Jusko (BS ’65 & PhD ‘70), was recognized at the conference as the 2019 recipient of the Lewis B. Sheiner Lecturer Award from the International Society of Pharmacometrics. The Sheiner Award recognizes the outstanding lifetime achievements of a distinguished scientist or researcher who has continued the legacy of excellence in pharmacometric research and leadership established by Lewis B. Sheiner.
