The International Society of Anti-Infective Pharmacology is an interdisciplinary scientific society for the study of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics and for the improvement of dosing of anti-infectives. The Society efforts are focused on expanding basic and applied knowledge in this area of chemotherapeutics through the organization of symposia, discussion workshops , and educational workshops with international participation, in connection with major scientific meetings dealing with the chemotherapy of infectious diseases (ICAAC, ICC, ECCMID ...), and other scientific societies with common interests, and Regulatory Authorities (FDA, EMEA). The current membership of the Society is about 120 worldwide.
