Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce the 3rd edition of the International Workshop on Pharmacology of Tuberculosis Drugs to be held on Saturday 11 September 2010, just prior to the ICAAC meeting, in Boston, USA.
The treatment of Tuberculosis is increasingly becoming a challenge world wide. All around the world experts in the field are involved in intensive research to be able to cope with the various concerns with regard to treatment.
The aim of this abstract-driven workshop is to make a significant contribution to the optimization of TB treatment, by bringing experts together and having them present and discuss the latest important scientific findings in the TB clinical pharmacology field. Additionally, scientific, regulatory or strategy issues that are highly relevant to the optimization of TB treatment will be exchanged and discussed.
The format of the meeting will be a one-day workshop consisting of invited lectures, abstract presentations, roundtable discussions and poster sessions. Much time will be allocated to questions, answers and discussion in order to set up an intimate interactive workshop.
Topics that will be addressed include pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new TB drugs, Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of approved TB drugs, New developments in pediatric TB, interactions between TB drugs and MDR- and XDR-TB.
We hope to see you again in Boston in September!
The Organizing Committee
