Conference: Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Conference

開催日: April 8 - 10, 2026

開催場所: Leiden, the Netherlands

Booth: 1

Meet Certara at the Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Conference 2026

The Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Conference (QSPC) 2026 will spotlight emerging computational and experimental approaches in quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) and mechanism- or physiologically-based pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD). This meeting continues the tradition of QSP-focused events held in the Netherlands every four years since 1990.

As a global leader in model-informed drug development, Certara is proud to be a Diamond Sponsor of QSPC 2026 and delighted to be contributing to the conversation around innovative QSP approaches.

Pre-conference workshop on Certara IQ™ – A revolutionary tool for scalable QSP modeling

Presenters: Josh Apgar, Andrew Matteson

日程: Tuesday, April 7th, 2026 | 11:30 AM – 5 PM

会場: Fletcher Wellness-Hotel Leiden (Bargelaan 180, 2333 CW Leiden, Netherlands)

Agenda:

  • 11:30 AM Registration and Lunch
  • 1 PM – 5 PM Workshop

QSP at Scale with Certara IQ

Lunch, snacks, and coffee are provided.

With hundreds of FDA and EMA submissions supported by QSP models, QSP has finally come of age. The now-proven high return of investment from QSP has led to every major pharma company and a significant number of biotechs investing in QSP groups or partnering with QSP vendors. However, the vast majority of preclinical and clinical programs are still not supported by QSP. At this point, we see this not as a limitation of the value of QSP but as a challenge for implementing QSP at scale. This workshop will unveil Certara IQ™, an innovative QSP environment that enables the scaling of QSP from only supporting a small minority of projects to supporting the entire pipeline. We will focus on four key decision points in the drug development pipeline:

  • New Target Feasibility
  • Determining Best in Class Properties
  • First In Human Dose Projection
  • Recommended Phase 2 Dose

For each, we will demonstrate how to use Certara IQ to efficiently answer these questions with practical examples.

Attendees should bring their laptops for this hands-on workshop. Prior to the event, you will receive an email from us to create an account in preparation for the workshop.

Register for the Certara IQ workshop

Registration to the workshop is limited to 50 people and subject to approval.

Josh Apgar

Joshua Apgar, PhD

VP, Head of QSP Software

Applied BioMath を共同設立する前は、ベーリンガーインゲルハイム製薬社の免疫学・炎症部門システム生物学グループで主任研究員を務めていました。彼の研究は、物理ベースのモデルを活用して、以下のことを実現しました。in vitro および in vivo データを解析し、標的の妥当性を評価、薬剤の作用機序を理解し、ヒトでの最適投与量を予測します。この研究の最終的な目的は、薬理作用および疾患の病態生理を深く定量的に解析することで、創薬開発の後期段階における開発中止(アトリション)を減らすことでした。

Josh 氏は MIT(マサチューセッツ工科大学)で生物工学の博士号を取得しました。同大学ではシステム生物学における実験設計に取り組み、未知のパラメータを推定し、シグナル伝達ネットワーク内の複雑なメカニズムを明らかにすることを可能にする、実施可能な実験の特定に注力しました。その前には、Josh 氏は Avaki 社にて、ライフサイエンスおよびエンジニアリング分野におけるハイパフォーマンスコンピューティング(HPC)やエンタープライズ情報統合を支援する、高いスケーラビリティを備えたソフトウェアプラットフォームの開発に従事していました。

Connect with Certara at QSPC 2026

Meet with Certara’s QSP experts at QSPC 2026 for a focused 1:1 conversation to discuss how scalable QSP can support better decisions across your drug development pipeline.

What We Can Help You With

  • Where and how QSP can add the most value in your pipeline
  • Scaling QSP beyond a small number of programs
  • Applying QSP to key decisions (FIH dose, Phase 2 dose, target feasibility)
  • Integrating QSP with PBPK and existing modeling workflows
  • Evaluating whether Certara IQ is right for your organization
