Welcome to ICoP India 2026 — Where Science Meets Strategy
We are delighted to welcome you to the International Conference on Pharmacometrics (ICoP India 2026) — the second annual conference of the Society of Pharmacometrics and Health Analytics (formerly PAGIN).
Organized by the Centre for Pharmacometrics, Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MCOPS), MAHE, and proudly supported by the International Society of Pharmacometrics (ISoP), this conference brings together a vibrant and growing community advancing quantitative approaches in drug development.
Theme: Quantitative Approaches in Drug Development — A Path Forward
This year’s theme reflects our shared commitment to model-informed drug development (MIDD) and the expanding role of pharmacometrics and health analytics in driving better therapeutic decisions.
ICoP India 2026 will serve as a dynamic platform for researchers, clinicians, regulators, and industry leaders to exchange ideas, present cutting-edge science, and foster meaningful collaborations.
A special call goes out to the Indian pharmacometrics diaspora across the globe — your insights and leadership are key as we work together to elevate India’s presence in this evolving discipline.
Join us as we chart a collective path forward in quantitative drug development.
