During the time that I was a clinical pharmacology fellow with Lewis Sheiner and Stuart Beal in San Francisco, the Voyager mission [1] was sending back incredible images of the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.
New to an Organization: Tools to Assess Projects and Teams
The complexity of project management and its value increase exponentially as the number and complexity of projects and interdisciplinary team participation increases.
Exposure–Response Analysis of Eslicarbazepine Acetate as Adjunctive Treatment of Patients With Partial-onset Seizures
Eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) is a novel once-daily (QD) antiepileptic drug (AED) currently under clinical development in the US. ESL is rapidly and extensively metabolized to its major active metabolite…
Population Pharmacokinetics of Eslicarbazepine Acetate in Patients With Partial-onset Seizures
Eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) is a novel once-daily antiepileptic drug (AED) currently under clinical development in the US. Following oral administration, ESL is rapidly and extensively metabolized…
Utility of Physiologically Based Absorption Modeling in Implementing Quality by Design in Drug Development
To implement Quality by Design (QbD) in drug development, scientists need tools that link drug products properties to in vivo performance
In Vitro-In Vivo Correlation for Gliclazide Immediate-Release Tablets Based on Mechanistic Absorption Simulation.
The aim of this study was to develop a drug-specific absorption model for gliclazide (GLK) using mechanistic gastrointestinal simulation technology (GIST) implemented...

The objective of this study was to assess the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for predicting plasma concentration-time profiles...
Computers win on Oscar night.
Did you watch the Oscars? A year ago, the 3D blockbuster, Avatar, was denied the Oscar for best film, which went to a low-budget war movie called The Hurt Locker. However, Avatar did win 3 Oscars in technical categories: Cinematography, Art Direction, and Visual Effects.

So, how cold was it?
We’ve had a cold winter so far in the USA, don’t you think? Snow in Alabama, a blizzard in Boston, another in Chicago, an ice storm in Dallas before the Super Bowl. . .Yep, it’s cold outside. But, take a look at this picture from 100 years ago. It’s hard to imagine how cold it had to have been to make Niagara Falls freeze over.

A short tour of the universe.
If you want a cheap but out-of-this-world vacation, a short tour of the universe may be just what you are looking for. This video was posted by Adam Frank last January on a National Public Radio blog called 13.7: Cosmos and Culture.
Evolving hERG Inhibition Model
Modeling hERG inhibition has significantly gained popularity since 2005, when the FDA recognized the correlation between hERG inhibition and a prolonged QT interval by issuing guidance for the…
