About Michael Dodds

Mike’s research focuses on the application of pharmacometrics: mathematical models of biology,(patho)-physiology, pharmacology and disease that quantify beneficial and undesirable interactions between drugs and patients to predict outcome [Barrett 2008]. Importantly, accurate and precise quantitative prediction of patient outcome allows for informed drug-development decisions. The following sections detail examples where Mike has applied pharmacometric research principals to aid in drug-development, with an emphasis on decision quality and business impact.Tools-of-the-trade:Population approach: NONMEM 7.2, PDx-Pop, Xpose, SPKGeneral purpose and custom programming: MATLAB, C++, SAS, S-Plus/RModel development: Berkeley Madonna, SAAM II, WinPOPTNoncompartmental analysis: WinNonlin (LIMS and database integration)Google Scholar Publication Tracker: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en & & view_op=list_works & sortby=pubdateORCID Id:

Experience
