Industrial Problems Seminar

Abstract

In this talk I will dive into a simple Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) model of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and use it to highlight some of the mathematical tools and methodologies used to support drug development. I will go over what a project in QSP consultancy might look like, and the various forms of modeling that come into play. I will also discuss possible paths into QSP in the industry, including tips for job searches and networking, as well as some of the current challenges of the industry.
