COURSE RATIONALE
The course is a remarkable platform for learning, networking, and advancing the understanding of clinical pharmacology in the context of viral, bacterial and fungal infections. It presents a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary cross-fertilization of ideas and incorporation of new approaches in all areas of anti-infective agents, from target identification to clinical application.
Combined as in-person and virtual participation to ensure a wide-reaching and inclusive engagement, the course brings together experts from different fields. Now in its 20th edition, it has progressively expanded to encompass a broad range of topics of clinical pharmacology, thus allowing every participant to exchange the latest scientific knowledge and engage in a comprehensive educational experience.
Not only designed for clinicians who wish to deepen their knowledge about PK/PD aspects of HIV research and medicine, the 3-day course is also a focus on novel issues covering proper use of antibiotics and antifungal agents. Monoclonal antibodies prophylaxis and up-to-date treatment approaches for patients with HIV, RSV and COVID will be also explored. Additionally, pharmacological principles and clinical practical competence in the areas of long-acting anti-infective agents will be widely analyzed and discussed.
