CAsToR Webinar with Ben Apelberg and Mitch Zeller: A Conversation about the Use of Computational Models in Tobacco Regulation
Flyer for CAsToR Webinar with Ben Apelberg and Mitch Zeller: A Conversation about the Use of Computational Models in Tobacco Regulation
DATE + TIME: Thu May 30, 2024 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
SPEAKERS: Ben Apelberg, PhD, MHS (Deputy Director, Office of Science, U.S. FDA) and Mitch Zeller, JD (Former Director, Center for Tobacco Products, U.S. FDA)
DESCRIPTION:

Dr. Ben Apelberg will provide brief remarks on how tobacco modelers can make their work as valuable and practical as possible for tobacco regulatory authorities. Mitch Zeller will provide commentary on Dr. Apelberg’s remarks, and both speakers will then participate in a discussion. Questions from the audience are welcomed and encouraged. Registration is required. All registrants must be approved by CAsToR to join this webinar. Questions? Please contact Molly Coeling at mcoeling@umich.edu.

“Tobacco and Nicotine” Course Trailer | Michigan Online
DATE + TIME: Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:01 AM - 12:01 AM
DESCRIPTION: “Tobacco & Nicotine: Public Health, Science, Policy, and Law” tells the story of smoking and tobacco and nicotine product use, focusing on the specific - but not unique - story of the U.S., while also presenting important information and insights from elsewhere in the world. Hosted by lead instructor Cliff Douglas of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, the course features 18 experts in a range of tobacco control areas and issues.

CAsToR Webinar: Microsimulation Modeling for the Colliding Epidemics of Tobacco and HIV
DATE + TIME: Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:

Dr. Krishna Reddy will discuss an established microsimulation model of HIV and a new microsimulation model of tobacco and nicotine product use. He will review the application of these models to study clinical and economic outcomes associated with tobacco use among people with and without HIV in the US and South Africa. Dr. Reddy will also discuss dissemination of model findings to clinical and policy making audiences.

CAsToR Webinar: Building a COPD Natural History Simulation Model for Tobacco Regulation Evaluation: From Statistics to Simulation
DATE + TIME: Tue Jun 13, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:

CAsToR junior investigator Dr. Sanchez Romero will talk through the development of a population simulation model for tobacco control, using an example of her work on developing a COPD Natural History Model. She will also discuss the use of different methods to estimate model input parameters, including important barriers to consider when using various health data sources for model development. There will be sufficient time for Q&A. Registration is required. Questions? Please contact Molly Coeling at mcoeling@umich.edu.
