ACoP 2026
Come meet the team and see how we can help.
ACoP is where the pharmacometrics and QSP communities compare methods in the open, which is the fastest way we know to make model-informed drug development more useful. We are glad to help support it.
Visit the ACoP 2026 siteSix of us are on site for the week. Book a slot ahead of time, or find us at a poster.

Co-CEO & Chief Product Officer
Leads product at Nova. Co-author on five of the abstracts below and an instructor on the QSP calibration tutorial.

VP of Business Development
Runs global business development from New York. Start here for partnerships, scoping, and how a Nova engagement actually works.

SVP Modeling and Simulation
Over 15 years of systems biology modeling in pharmaceutical research, and an instructor on the QSP calibration tutorial.

Head of Scientific Support
Leads scientific project delivery and presents two posters: the prostate cancer work with Ferring Pharmaceuticals and the ADC Digital Twins framework with MSD, and supports the SAEM tutorial.

Head of Core, Scientific Software Engineering
Chairs the QSP calibration tutorial and presents the LLM reproduction benchmark and the plot digitization work.

QSP Scientist
Presents the prospective validation of Nova's atherosclerosis model against the phase 3 CORALreef Lipids readout, and the Mantle Cell Lymphoma survival poster.
One tutorial, one talk, and eight posters, spanning surrogate-based calibration, virtual populations, Digital Twins, and the AI tooling behind them. Times are as published in the ACoP program.
Frédéric CognyA surrogate-assisted SAEM framework that brings population parameter inference within reach of stiff, high-dimensional QSP models.
Frédéric CognyAn open-source collection of agent skills for PBPK and QSP work, keeping transparency and human expertise at the center of the workflow.
Cristhyne LeonJoint work with MSD, building patient-level mechanistic Digital Twins for an antibody-drug conjugate and using them to compare dosing regimens In Silico.
Frédéric CognyVirtual population construction recast as combinatorial optimization: pick the sub-population that matches the target statistics directly.
Eliott TixierA hybrid pipeline pairing vision language models with explicit axis calibration, so digitized series come back numerically grounded.
Eliott TixierAn open benchmark for evaluating how well LLM-assisted workflows rebuild a published PBPK or QSP model from the paper alone.
Also walked at the AI/ML SIG lunch poster walk, 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM in Chesapeake G-I.
Cristhyne LeonJoint work with Ferring Pharmaceuticals, coupling clonal competition dynamics to a time-to-event model of metastasis and mortality.
Yishu (Hélio) WangIndividual-level tumor dynamics from the SHINE trial, linked to a per-patient progression-free survival distribution through an NLME and Cox pairing.
Yishu (Hélio) WangPredictions were posted publicly before the readout. The week-24 LDL-C reduction came in at –54.5% predicted against –55.8% reported.
