Monte Carlo Simulation for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Helping you become a skillful "simulator," this book provides broad coverage of the drug development process, from drug discovery to preclinical and clinical trial aspects to commercialization. It presents the theories and methods for carrying out computer simulations efficiently, covers both descriptive and pseudocode algorithms that provide the basis for implementing the simulation methods, and illustrates real-world problems through case studies. The author discusses many key topics, including game theory, adaptive design, molecular design, prescription drug marketing, biological pathway simulation, genetic programming, and pharmacokinetic modeling.
