Pre-Clinical SIG

We are a group of statisticians working at CROs and pharmaceutical industry supporting preclinical drug discovery on animal and cell based experiments. As a group, our focus is on diverse range of preclinical topics such as;

  • Discovery
  • Robust study design/good statistical practices in in-vitro, ex-vivo and in-vivo assay development
  • Reproducibility and Translation from pre-clinical to clinical
  • Toxicogenomics
  • General Toxicology
  • Eco-Toxicology
  • Toxicokinetics
  • DMPK / Pharmacokinetics
  • ECG
  • Immuno Toxicology
  • Histopathology
  • Pharmacology
  • Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology
  • Carcinogenicity

 

We organise webinars and workshops on topics and methodological developments in preclinical research and now have a list of over 50 affiliates on our e-mail distribution list.

Purpose

We see our mission as bridging preclinical knowledge and expertise within the pharmaceutical industry and academia to provide a forum to collaborate, discuss and advance statistical topics related to Research, Discovery (including efficacy models), Regulatory and Investigative Toxicology/Safety Assessment. We also hope to encourage the development of relevant statistical methodologies and promote the involvement of statisticians in these areas.
