What this boils down to is using mathematical/statistical models to help explain and predict what the body does to the drug (#Pharmacokinetics, #PK) and what the drug does to the body (#Pharmacodynamics, #PD) - these are often combined to produce #PKPD or #ExposureResponse models.

Pharmacometrics rolls up modeling and simulation for #Pharmacokinetics, #Pharmacodynamics, and #DiseaseProgression, with a focus on populations and variability. A major focus is to understand variability in drug response, which can be predictable (e.g. due to differences in body weight or kidney function) or unpredictable (differences between subjects seem random, but likely reflect a lack of knowledge or data).
