MONOLIX Group

Participant : Marc Lavielle.

The monolix group chaired by Marc Lavielle and France Mentré (INSERM) is a multidisciplinary group, that exchanges and develops activities in the field of mixed effect models. It involves scientists with various backgrounds, interested both in the study and applications of these models academic statisticians (theoretical developments), researchers from INSERM (applications in pharmacology) and INRA (applications in agronomy, animal genetics and microbiology), and scientists from the medical faculty of Lyon-Sud University (applications in oncology). This multi-disciplinary group, born in October 2003, has been meeting every month.

Moreover, Marc Lavielle was responsible of an ANR project (projet blanc) on the Monolix software which started in 2006. This project was selected for an oral presentation at the Cité des Sciences in February 2009.
