Getting Started with PK-Sim

Our video series “Getting Started with PK-Sim” is a beginner-friendly introduction to whole-body PBPK modelling with PK-Sim for students and scientists. The eight videos take you from installing the software to running your first simulation, using midazolam as the running example. Each video focuses on one PK-Sim building block and takes less than 10 minutes.

The series covers:

  • Installing PK-Sim and linking the template and gene expression databases
  • Creating individuals with custom anatomy, physiology and expression profiles
  • Building compounds with physicochemical properties and clearance processes
  • Adding formulations and administration protocols
  • Importing observed data and setting up simulations for intravenous and oral dosing

You can also watch all videos as a playlist on our YouTube channel. The series was created by the PBPK Tutorial Team of Clinical Pharmacy at Saarland University.
