Machine learning meets pharmacometrics - Pumas-AI workshop at FU Berlin
From 03 – 05 February 2025, the “Nonlinear Mixed Effects Modeling Workflows using Pumas” workshop by Pumas-AI Inc will take place in collaboration with the FU Berlin. Over three days, the attendees will engage in hands-on sessions guided by experts from Pumas-AI Inc., focusing on essential modelling techniques, population PK, PKPD analyses, and advanced data handling. A glimpse into DeepPumas will highlight the powerful integration of machine learning with pharmacometrics. The event will take place online and is free for students. We look forward to an inspiring, interactive event!

Presentations at the 20th Congress of ECCO (European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation)
The upcoming ECCO Congress, themed Sustainability in IBD and Beyond, will take place in Berlin from 20-22 February 2025.
At this event, our doctoral student Zrinka Duvnjak will present her research as a poster titled "Supporting Vedolizumab Treatment Throughout Pregnancy: Insights from a Population Pharmacokinetic Model."
Additionally, Prof. Kloft will give a short oral presentation on the topic "Hospitalised Severe Ulcerative Colitis Patients Treated with Rescue Infliximab Risk Treatment Failure Due to Underexposure Caused by High Drug Clearance."

The AK Kloft is glad to welcoming a new intern!
In February 2025, Sara Salehian joined our Department for an eight-week research project. Sara obtained her Masters in Pharmacy at Cyprus International University and is currently enrolled in the Master program Pharmaceutical Research at our University. During her internship, she will develop a mathematical model for levofloxacin resistance. A warm WELCOME

Our Contributions to Faculty Day 2025
On 16 January 2025, our working group will participate in the Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Pharmacy's biannually Faculty Day at Arnimallee 22. Starting at 16:15. The event will bring together the faculty’s diverse research groups for exciting talks and a poster session, where we will present our latest findings and ongoing projects.

This gathering is a good opportunity for scientific exchange and networking, especially for undergraduate students in their final year, interested in our field and considering thesis topics. We look forward to sharing insights from our work and connecting with colleagues and students for an inspiring afternoon of academic dialogue and collaboration.
