The IATDMCT 2025 Congress offers a variety of engaging pre-congress workshops for all delegates. You can sign up for these workshops during the registration process.
If you have already registered and wish to attend a workshop, please contact the congress organisers at iatdmct2025@expertevents.com.au.
Pre-congress workshops will be held on 21 September 2025 from 9:00am – 1:30pm at SingHealth Academy, Academia, 20 College Road, Singapore (approximately a 20 minute walk to/from the Grand Copthorne Hotel).
Further workshops will be announced by email to IATDMCT members and registered delegates. Workshops will be limited in size and filled by a first come, first served basis.

This workshop will guide participants in leveraging generative AI tools for efficient literature searching and collaborative review article drafting. The chairpersons will start introduce AI-powered platforms such as Consensus, EvidenceHunt, SciSpace, Mistral, Perplexity, Elicit, Litmaps, ResearchRabbit… along with tools for reference management (e.g., Zotero), collaborative writing (e.g., Google Docs, Notion) and Large Language Models (e.g., ChatGPT, Mistral, Claude…).
Participants will select a topic from a curated list and form subgroups to draft sections based on their expertise. With the chairpersons, all the groups will engage in peer reviewing and will work on maintaining coherence across sections using AI plateforms and tools. All groups will then participate in merging sections into a organized manuscript, with the goal of approaching a journal-quality draft for potential submission to Therapeutic Drug Monitoring journal.
Ideal for young scientists, researchers, academics, and advanced students, this practical workshop will help demonstrating how AI tools can modernize the review-writing process, offering valuable overview on available platforms.
Workshop 2: PAGANZ Beginners Population Approach Workshop (PAWs)
SGD 88
This workshop includes morning tea and lunch.

This course introduces the theory and practice of population modelling. Population models are a mainstay for model-informed dosing and so widely relevant to the IATDMCT membership. Population models allow dose individualisation by quantifying the impact of key patient covariates. They have been implemented in many Bayesian forecasting tools that are available for clinical use. Population modelling requires understanding of pharmacology and statistical concepts.
This course is designed for beginners and has been run annually as part of PAGANZ conferences for more than 20 years. It provides early training and connection to a modelling community between learners of different backgrounds. It is typically well attended by PhD students, academics and industry professionals. The motivator for attendance ranges from those who plan to use population modelling for their own research, to those who have need of understanding the theory behind population modelling for their roles in regulatory or clinical organisations.
The workshop covers both theory and practice of population modelling through lectures and hands-on exercises at a computer. During the hands-on exercises, tutors are available for consultation and assistance. The workshop is run as BYO device. No experience with any of these software is assumed.
