Dr. Andrea Edginton is a Professor and the Hallman Director of the School of Pharmacy, University of Waterloo, Canada. She has 100+ peer-reviewed publications in pharmacokinetics and modeling and simulation. Her academic research focuses on the development and application of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models and simulation techniques in the areas of pharmaceuticals and human health risk assessment. Her research examines how the physiology of sub-populations (e.g. children, patients with disease) affect the PK of small molecule drugs and biologics through integration with PBPK models for the optimization of drug therapy. Dr. Edginton heads the modeling component of the Web-Accessible Population Pharmacokinetics Service – Hemophilia (WAPPS-Hemo.org) project that uses population pharmacokinetic modeling and Bayesian forecasting for tailoring treatment prophylaxis in persons with hemophilia. This free service is used by over 650 hemophilia treatment centres in over 50 countries. As a result of her research in hemophilia, she sits on the International Prophylaxis Study Group (IPSG) PK Expert Working Group.
