PSI VisSIG Wonderful Wednesday Webinar Series
This is a good opportunity to develop your knowledge by thinking through a practical example, practicing how to apply graphics principles, and developing your coding skills.
Core Committee (L-R): Fetene Tekle (Janssen), Gareth Thomas (former member and chair), Bernd Igl (Boehringer Ingelheim), Eloisa Brook (chair, GlaxoSmithKline), Jim Saul (Covance) and Phillip Jarvis (Novartis). Luc Essermeant (Sanofi) and Ezgi Tanriver-Ayder (GlaxoSmithKline) have also recently joined the team.
To provide a forum to discuss and advance statistical topics related to Research, Discovery (including efficacy models), Regulatory and Investigative Toxicology/Safety Assessment and to promote the involvement of Statisticians in these areas.
Our membership consists of statisticians at CROs, pharmaceutical companies and academia who are working in areas such as:
- Discovery
- Good statistical practice in in-vitro, ex-vivo and in-vivo assay development
- Reproducibility and Translation from pre-clinical to clinical
- Toxicogenomics
- Genetic Toxicology
- Acute Toxicology
- General Toxicology
- Eco-Toxicology
- Toxicokinetics
- DMPK / Pharmacokinetics
- ECG
- Immuno Toxicology
- Histopathology
- Pharmacology
- Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology
- Carcinogenicity
We discuss diverse topics ranging from Dog Telemetry data analysis to Decision Trees, from Bayesian methods to dealing with irate study directors, and now have a list of over 50 affiliates on our e-mail distribution list.
