Dear Colleagues,
The meeting will be held in conjunction with the 9th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV Therapy, with a joint session on Wednesday afternoon, April 9.
The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of topics related to clinical pharmacology of current and future drugs in the treatment of viral hep B and hep C.
Topics that will be covered include preclinical models of hepatitis, genetic variation in host and virus, factors affecting treatment outcome, current and future drugs and their mechanism of action, and exposure-response (PK/PD) relationships.
The format of the meeting will consist of plenary presentations by invited speakers, abstract-driven presentations, poster viewing and Q&A-sessions.
We hope you will be able to join us in this important conference and look forward to seeing you in New Orleans.
