The Value of a Conceptual Schema

The Value of a Conceptual Schema

This year represents the 60th anniversary of the publication of the famous paper by James Watson and Francis Crick proposing a structure for DNA. This podcast from Nature contains interviews with scientists who were actively involved in the race to work out the structure. Listen to the podcast. At approximately 7 minutes into the podcast, there is a remarkable description of Watson’s first look at the classic x-ray crystallography picture of DNA. Watson knew immediately what the picture represented because Crick had, two years previously, published a theoretical paper about what a helical diffraction pattern
would look like.

The Inspiration of Great Architecture

The Inspiration of Great Architecture

Buffalo is home to truly spectacular architecture. We have many landmark buildings, historic sites, and cultural attractions and to appreciate them is to be reminded that Western New York was once at the cutting edge of architecture and landscape design that served to make Buffalo an aesthetically pleasing place to live and work. These works of art were conceived and built during a time of remarkable wealth generated as a result of Buffalo’s location at the western terminus of the Erie Canal and a transportation hub for goods moving between the Mid-West and East Coast.

Prediction of Valsartan Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Population using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Model

Conference: AAPS
Software: GastroPlus®
Division: PBPK

A method for transporter-based in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) was previously developed and demonstrated by predicting valsartan PK after i.v.administration [1]. The purpose of this study was to…
