Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) is a fast-growing discipline in model informed drug development. We simulate virtual patients to enhance decisions across the pharmaceutical pipeline to get the right medicines to the right patients faster. QSP models are large and often stiff differential equation systems. Workflows include intensive simulations such as parameter optimization and sensitivity analyses. In this talk, we will discuss how we utilize Julia for QSP workflows.
Contents of presentation:
- Background: QSP
- Model building process and pain points
- Simulations and performance improvement with Julia
- Two-language problem: Balancing model accessibility and performance
