Call for Abstracts: International Symposium on Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics ISOPT Clinical 2013

March 7-10, 2013 Paris, France

The deadline for the submission of abstracts: December 4th, 2012.

Abstracts submitted after this deadline may be considered for presentation, but will not be included in the program book.

ISOPT will reconvene in Paris March 7 – 10 for our 10th symposium. Over the years, ISOPT has repeatedly shaped its form so it can accommodate to provide a collaborative atmosphere for clinicians, clinical trialists, pharma industry and regulatory officers. Our formed vision has been to increase knowledge and awareness of drug usage in ophthalmology reflecting innovations and their utilization in practice. In order to achieve this vision ISOPT is set to implement the following missions:

Educate via updating and sharing current and evolving treatment algorithms for practitioners.

Connect data arising from clinical studies to actual daily practice.

Facilitate innovation via panels and discussions of early and late “development related topics”.

We invite you to join us in Paris, and become a part of ISOPT, bring your own experience and insights of treating your patients, be exposed to the last two year clinical experience gained in major industry supported studies and be part of the efforts to reflect scientific data to clinical reality and patient care.

ISOPT has become famous for its informal atmosphere and the ability to meet experts and faculty leaders for “out of the lecture hall” discussions.

Whether your field of interest is in retinal diseases, inflammation, cornea and external diseases, glaucoma or basic science you may contribute and be part of the ISOPT spirit.

Call for Abstracts: Eleventh International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection

11-15 November 2012 Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom

Keeping up to date with developments and new ideas in HIV treatment presents a major challenge to treating physicians, healthcare providers and researchers. Objective scientific assessment of new drug treatments and therapeutic strategies is therefore essential. It will be the aim of the Eleventh International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection to provide a wide-ranging yet accessible forum for such assessment.

The Scientific Programme for Glasgow will again address the use of differing therapeutic strategies in a variety of clinical settings. Alongside treatment strategies, adverse events, resistance and other important sessions within the overall programme, developing world perspectives, paediatric treatment and care, and community-related treatment issues will receive detailed attention. The Congress will again adopt the Pre-Congress Workshop format as introduced at HIV-10, which proved to be a popular session taking place on the opening morning of the Congress.

Abstract submissions are invited from all relevant sources. Specific details on the submission process and subject categories will be provided in January 2012. Online electronic submission will be available. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 16 July 2012.
