Pharmacodynamic Systems with Delays Research Group

Biological systems that are targets for drug intervention are often exhibiting delay responses to treatment. Pharmacodynamic models describing such systems require specialized mathematical techniques and computational tools to adequately account for delays. Our mission is to foster to pharmacometric community mathematical fields of delay differential equations, distributed delays, and numerical methods of solving them, and to popularize their use in pharmacodynamic modeling.

• Research in the area of pharmacodynamic systems with delays.
• Teaching concepts and modeling techniques addressing delays in PKPD.
• Providing consulting services on applications of models with delays in pharmacometrics

The group is a not-for-profit organization that is part of the Center for PKPD Analysis in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. It consists of peers who volunteered to contribute to the group’s mission. The members may not be affiliated with the University at Buffalo.

We welcome any scientist who wishes to contribute to our mission to join us.
