"Requirements for regulatory-compliant analysis and reporting of PK/PD data to support new drug submissions has driven new customer demand for our RAS offering. We are pleased to extend Pharsight's internship program to cover our entire consulting services practice, which provides talented Ph.D. students with opportunities to work on projects and gain in-depth modeling and simulation expertise. We look forward to contributions from our newest colleagues that will further enhance the services that we provide to our clients."
