As part of the A3 module on population analysis, our upcoming “Machine Learning Knowledge Hour” will feature Diego Valderrama, PhD student at Fraunhofer SCAI, Germany. His research focuses on applying Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) and hybrid modelling to biomedical problems. Diego will present his recent article, “Comparing Scientific Machine Learning With Population Pharmacokinetic and Classical Machine Learning Approaches for Prediction of Drug Concentrations” (CPT:PSP, 2025). followed by a discussion on its implications and the use of machine learning in pharmacometrics.
