Dr. Christina Friedrich, Chief Engineer at Rosa, attended the Symposium and presented the poster comparing several recently proposed qualification approaches, including Rosa's Model Qualification Method (MQM), to identify common themes and analyze differences. Model qualification is a topic of acute interest in the QSP community, and the MQM was developed to ensure that QSP models are fit for purpose and support actionable research insights.
The symposium entitled "Increasing Drug Development Success: Understanding Drug-Disease Interactions through Quantitative Systems Pharmacology" was designed to bring together key global leaders in QSP to explore how to leverage the interfaces of theoretical and experimental pharmacology to improve drug development efficiency. In recent years, QSP has emerged as a powerful research approach that enables scientific insight and informs early discovery to clinical development decisions. The most innovative R&D organizations in the industry are increasingly adopting QSP as an essential research component for more informed decision-making. Rosa's participation in this symposium further demonstrates its commitment to expanding the adoption of QSP into a standard research method used within the pharmaceutical industry.
"We are pleased to see increasing acceptance of the vital role QSP can play in informing drug development decisions. We are also proud to be taking a leading role in defining methodologies and standards for QSP model qualification."
-Dr. Ron Beaver, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Rosa & Co. LLC
