From October 7th to 10th, we will be hosting the 6th European Course on Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Protein Therapeutics in Barcelona. The course directors are Prof. Bernd Meibohm and Prof. Johan Gabrielsson.
This 4-day course will introduce participants to basic principles in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of novel therapeutic proteins and provide opportunities for basic hands-on exercises in the PK/PD evaluation of these compounds. Topics include target-mediated drug disposition, tissue and tumor penetration, first-in-human dose selection, immunogenicity, clinical pharmacology challenges, biosimilars, ADCs, bispecific antibodies and drug-drug interactions.
On the 4th day, Calvagone will give a hands-on introduction to e-Campsis, the free online PK/PD simulator, with examples focused on protein PK.
Registration fees:
Regular: €2200
Academia/Trainee: €800 (excl. VAT)
Early-bird registration (before May 31st 2025): 10% discount
The course will be held at the Hotel Icaria in Barcelona, Spain.

On June 3rd, 2025 Calvagone will be running a 1-day workshop on e-Campsis, an intuitive web application to set-up and run PK/PD & QSP simulations, and to communicate simulation results in an interactive way.
As a participant you will get free access to e-Campsis pro. You will learn how to:
Import a model from various sources (Campsis, model library, NONMEM)
Set up a trial design
Bootstrap covariates from an external source (e.g. NHANES)
Explore what-if scenarios thanks to the built-in scenario creator
Stratify and visualize the results with customizable plots
Post-process the results, derive useful metrics and summary statistics and generate HTML tables in a few clicks
Overlay external data on top of simulations
Create forest plots in an intuitive manner to assess the impact of covariates
Make a sensitivity analysis effortlessly and understand the limitations of your model
You will also learn how to reproduce the simulations offline in R thanks to the open-source package campsis.
The following registration fee applies for this 1-day workshop:
Industry: € 200 (100*) excl. VAT
Academic: € 100 (50*) excl. VAT
Student: € 100 (50*) excl. VAT
*Register and pay before April 1st to get a 50% early bird discount!
The fee includes the workshop material, lunch and coffee breaks as well as temporary access to e-Campsis pro for 3 months.
Only limited knowledge of R is required, since all hands-on exercises will be done in the web application. Participants should bring their own laptop.
The course will take place at Hotel Capsis 4* https://capsishotels.gr/en - 400 m from the metro station of Dimokratias.
