Bridging Pharmacy and Mathematics
No 203/2018 from Jul 27, 2018 A doctoral training program bridging pharmacy and mathematics, PharMetrX - Pharmacometrics & Computational Disease Modeling , is accepting applicants for the new term. Scholarships will be awarded for graduates of pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, mathematics/statistics, bioinformatics, life sciences, or medicine to enroll in the PharMetrX Research+ program of Freie Universität and Universität Potsdam, where they can earn a doctorate, attend the module curriculum, and become part of the PharMetrX doctoral network ( https://www.pharmetrx.de/files/pdf/PharMetrX-Call-for-Application_Poster2018_final.pdf ). Applications are being accepted until September 15, 2018, for the term starting March 1, 2019. Pharmacists and mathematicians work together within this practice-oriented program. They develop mathematical models combining the course of disease and effects of drugs in patients, in order to develop more effective therapies. So far, 67 doctoral candidates have been accepted since the program was started in 2008. PharMetrX is a structured graduate research training program organized jointly by Freie Universität Berlin (Clinical Pharmacy) and Universität Potsdam (Mathematics & Systems Biology).
