Pre-congress workshops

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.

Workshop 1: Enhancing Review Article Writing with the Latest Tools, Including Generative AI

This workshop includes morning tea and lunch.

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: Introduction to population pharmacokinetic analyses for TDM data: workshop for beginners

This workshop includes morning tea and lunch.

This workshop introduces theory and practice of population pharmacokinetic modelling with a focus on the analysis of TDM data. Population models are a mainstay for model-informed dosing and widely relevant to the IATDMCT membership. Population models allow dose individualisation by quantifying the impact of key patient covariates and can be used to better interpret and utilise TDM generated data. 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 workshop is designed to introduce the key topics of population modelling and provide attendees with a basic understanding of the key components of a population model.  The workshop is useful for anyone thinking about getting started in population modelling, or who has a need to interpret pharmacometrics reports as part of their role.   

For those individuals interested in taking a more comprehensive introduction to population analyses, PAGANZ will be offering a 1.5 day beginners course from Friday 19th and Saturday 20th at a separate venue. Discounted registrations are available for IATDMCT registrants. See  https://www.paganz.org/singapore-2025/ for more detail.

Workshop 3: Mastering TDM Studies in Infectious Diseases: Key Insights and Example Trials

This workshop includes morning tea and lunch.

TDM studies and guidance on their conduct have gained more relevance recently. Here we would like to highlight the guidance from a recent review focusing on designing a TDM study in infectious diseases and takeaways from recent RCTs focusing on TDM.

The aim of this session is to present key elements of TDM study design, lessons learned from RCTs focusing on the major antibiotic classes used in clinical practice: glycopeptides, beta-lactams, and antituberculosis drugs.

Learning objectives:

Attendees will come away from this session with:

  • a deeper understanding of TDM study design
  • pitfalls and challenges of trial conduct
  • knowledge on directions for future research
