Highlights of the Year

The Inria Innovation Lab Lollipox was created. This i-Lab brings together Popix and the start-up Lixoft. It aims to boost the transfer of new statistical methods developed by Popix to new tools developed by Lixoft.

We have built a comprehensive online wiki (WikiPopix, https://wiki.inria.fr/popix) for the population approach with mixed-effects models. This wiki aims to be an invaluable resource for all pharmacometricians, statisticians, teachers, graduate and undergraduate students in academia, industry and regulatory agencies. It is freely available online for all these communities.

Bertrand Maury published the book, The Respiratory System in Equations (Springer), which gives an introduction to the mathematical modeling of the respiratory system. The book starts with detailed introduction to physiological aspects, and then different levels of description are proposed, from lumped models with a small number of parameters (ordinary differential equations), up to infinite dimensional models based on partial differential equations.
