Project description

This project aims to evaluate the usefulness of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBKP) - Modelling in predicting the pharmacokinetics of drugs en paediatric populations. Current knowledge on PBPK-modelling in children will be expanded, an the resulting model will be tested and validated using the model drugs tramadol and propofol.
