Worldwide Webinar Series:

Impact of Modeling & Simulation in Drug Development

Rosa’s Worldwide Webinar Series fosters the adoption of modeling and simulation by informing a broad audience about the strategic impact it can have on all aspects of research and development.

Since its inception in 2011, this complimentary monthly series has featured select speakers from academia, industry, Rosa client companies, and Rosa itself. The series has drawn many thousands of attendees worldwide from all drug development disciplines.

Irina Kareva, PhD, Associate Director, Quantitative Pharmacology, EMD Serono (US-based Merck KGaA)
Irina Kareva received her PhD in Applied Mathematics for Life and Social Sciences from Arizona State University in 2012. Her research has been focused on mathematical modeling of cancer as an evolving ecological system, with particular focus on applying insights from ecology and evolution to understanding cancer initiation and progression. She did her post-doctoral fellowship at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, prior to joining EMD Serono (US business of Merck KGaA) in 2016, where she is currently an Associate Director in Quantitative Pharmacology Department. Dr. Kareva has co-authored 3 books and over 50 publications, and conducts both applied and basic research. Her current work is focused primarily on fit-for-purpose mechanistic modeling of compounds in immunology and immuno-oncology to enable rational safe and efficacious First-in-Human (FIH) dose projections both for monotherapy and combination therapy.
