Models

We are committed to promote reproducibility and transparency of research findings. For each of our modeling studies, we usually publish the source model codes as a Supplementary Material of the manuscript. We also upload the source mode code files to GitHub before we submit the manuscript. Please refer to the GitHub sites below for source code files of our published models.

In addition, we are dedicated to converting our PK models to web-based interfaces to facilitate applications of our models by a wider scientific community. We also convert our research data to be a web dashboard, so that other researchers can access our research findings easily. Below is a list of our PK model web interfaces and databases with direct URL links and citations.
