Pharmacokinetic & Pharmacometric Modeling
Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacometric (PMX) modeling quantify how drugs move through the body-absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. These models predict exposure, optimize dosing, and support preclinical-to-clinical translation. Materials Metric provides non-compartmental analysis (NCA), compartmental modeling, PK/PD modeling, and population PK (PopPK) studies using validated workflows aligned with FDA and EMA expectations.
Our analytical approach integrates experimental data, simulation tools, and statistical modeling to generate clear insights into drug transport, controlled release, degradation kinetics, and materialโtissue interactions. These methods support formulation development, delivery system optimization, and model-informed decision-making across biomedical, pharmaceutical, and biomaterials applications.
