In its second year, QSP Day is a free, all-day conference focusing on the impact of mathematical modeling in biotechnology and pharmaceutical R&D. QSP Day features presentations from key industry and academic researchers, a poster session with awards, and offers networking time with peers.
QSP Day, hosted by Applied BioMath and sponsored by MIT Department of Biological Engineering, occurs Thursday, April 12, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at the Samberg Conference Center, MIT Chang Building in Cambridge, MA. Previously, Applied BioMath announced Douglas A. Lauffenburger, PhD, MIT as the keynote speaker. Additional speakers include Haiqing Wang, PhD, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Rupert Davies, PhD, Zymeworks. Alison Betts, PhD, Pfizer will also present "Use of Modeling & Simulation to compare Pfizer's new generation HER2 ADC (PF-06804103) with Kadcyla(TM): a focus on PK and efficacy" at QSP Day 2018.
"This is a very exciting lineup of speakers for QSP Day 2018," said John Burke, PhD, Co-Founder, President, and CEO, Applied BioMath. "Each of these presentations demonstrate innovative modeling and simulation approaches to drug R&D."
Abstract submission is open to all undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, industry, faculty and staff in any computational biology field. Three abstracts will be invited to give a 15-minute lightning talk during the conference.
