Previous Sessions

Focus on Pharmacology: The New Automated Patient-Oriented Problem Solving System in Pharmacology (A-POPS)

Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET

The Automated Patient-Oriented Problem Solving (A-POPS) System in Pharmacology is a new software product and student learning tool developed in partnership between ASPET and DeckChair Learning Systems. The A-POPS consist of clinical simulations that support active learning, including peer-to-peer teaching. The platform is compatible with all major learning management systems. Participants will be able to see a demo of the A-POPS and learn more about how to use them in the classroom.

Moderator

Catherine Fry, PhD, Director of Education, ASPET

Speakers

Mark Simmons, PhD, University of Maryland Eastern Shore
Using the A-POPS in Your Flipped Classroom

Jeff Graham, PhD, University of Toronto and Al Sura, CEO, DeckChair Learning Systems, Inc.
Exploring Student Performance Metrics Available in A-POPS

 

 

Focus on Pharmacology: Current Advances in Drug Metabolism Part 7

Hosted by the ASPET Division for Drug Metabolism and Disposition (DMDD) 

Thursday, July 20, 2023, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET

Please join us for this session where our featured junior scientists will discuss recent advancements in:
  1. the expression of plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) in neuroblastoma and its role in mIBG disposition, and
  2. using the mass spectrometry imaging technology to understand drug metabolism, disposition, and response.
The DMDD Quarterly Webinar Series is intended to stimulate idea exchange and communication among DMDD members and to promote career development of young scientists in the field of drug metabolism and disposition. 


Speakers

Leticia Salvador Vieira, PhD Candidate, University of Washington College of Pharmacy
The Plasma Membrane Monoamine Transporter (PMAT): Expression in Neuroblastoma and Role in mIBG Disposition

Herana Kamal Seneviratne, PhD, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Understanding Drug Metabolism, Disposition, and Response Using Mass Spectrometry Imaging

Organizers

Focus on Pharmacology: Current Advances in Drug Metabolism Part 6, Industry Focus

Co-hosted by the ASPET Division for Drug Metabolism and Disposition (DMDD) and The Canadian Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CSPT)

Tuesday, March 7, 2023, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET

The DMDD Quarterly Webinar Series stimulates idea exchange and communication and promotes career development of young scientists in the field of drug metabolism and disposition. The aim of the webinar is twofold – to feature preeminent science from the perspective of drug discovery research and to educate the audience on the key role diversity, equity, and inclusion all play in driving novel science in industry. 

Please join us for this webinar co-hosted by DMDD and the Canadian Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CSPT) which will include speakers from Genentech and Novo Nordisk who will respectively present methods to improve predicted human clearance using IVIVE in early drug discovery and discuss an industry-based approach to research innovation through diversification.

Speakers

Robert Jones, PhD, Genentech
Application of Empirical Scalars to Enable Early Prediction of Human Hepatic Clearance using in vitro-in vivo Extrapolation in Drug Discovery

Sebastian D Parlee, PhD, Novo Nordisk
Innovation through Diversification: Novo Nordisk Research & Early Development Essential #6 Strategy

Organizers

Julie Lade, PhD, Amgen
Kerry Goralski, PhD, Dalhousie University
