During this roundtable, Grasela presented “Engineering the Pharmacometrics Enterprise: Science in Support of Science,” in which he discussed the following topics: What are the key components of the pharmacometrics enterprise?; How do we move from model-supported drug development to model-based drug development?; and What can be done to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of pharmacometrics? Grasela also presented “So Many Interesting Problems: Turbo-charge Your Career at a CRO,” which was part of a Tuesday afternoon student and postdoc roundtable called Paths Less Traveled: Opportunities for Pharmaceutical Scientists Beyond Industry and Academia.
