PMX Africa: Nigeria Chapter
March 2025 Webinar
Introduction to PBPK and Population Pharmacokinetics
Recorded: Wednesday, March 26, 2025
This was an insightful session on Pharmacokinetic Modeling, where we explored the fundamentals of PBPK and Population Pharmacokinetics. This webinar covered key differences between these modelling approaches, their applications in drug development and clinical research, and how they enhance our understanding of drug behaviour in diverse populations.
A special thank you to the speaker, Babajide Shenkoya and the 50+ participants who made this webinar a success. Stay tuned for more details about next month’s webinar!
About the Speaker
Babajide Shenkoya
Babajide holds a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree and a Master’s in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from Obafemi Awolowo University, where he focused on statistical and computational methods at the Translational Pharmacokinetic Research Group. He is currently a Doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. His research interests include applying quantitative approaches, particularly pharmacometric techniques such as non-compartmental analysis (NCA), population pharmacokinetics (popPK), pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, and clinical trial simulations (CTS), to address critical questions in clinical practice and drug development.
About Pharmacometrics Africa: Nigeria Chapter
We are a group of scientists in Nigeria, who belong to the Pharmacometrics Africa Network, dedicated to advancing patient care through clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics. Our mission is to optimize drug therapy and improve patient outcomes by leveraging modelling and simulation tools to understand drug behaviour and patient response by providing data-driven insights to guide treatment outcomes.
