Sommario/riassunto

A comprehensive introduction to using modeling and simulation programs in drug discovery and development  Biopharmaceutical modeling has become integral to the design and development of new drugs. Influencing key aspects of the development process, including



drug substance design, formulation design, and toxicological exposure assessment, biopharmaceutical modeling is now seen as the linchpin to a drug's future success. And while there are a number of commercially available software programs for drug modeling, there has not been a single resource guiding pharmaceutical professio
