One of the main goals of ISAP is to be a forum for presenting new concepts and new data pertaining to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antiinfective agents. These new concepts and data may, possibly, become part of the basic science of antiinfective chemotherapy.
Over the years, the symposium, which ISAP helds just after the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) has become specifically devoted to this type "New concept/New data" discussion meeting (see "Past meetings and activities").
This year's meeting will be no exception to this rule and the programme will focus both on controversial issues, where new data and discussions are needed, as well as on the presentation of the and pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics of new agents.
The focus
of the programme this year is also in bringing new views, and to discuss new
topics. Effort will be made towards a real, in depth discussion among
all participants based on presentations meant to be informative, and even
sometimes provocative, but concentrating always on new concepts and data
at the cutting edge of the Science of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
of Antiinfectives.

Buffet Dinner and General Assembly | |
Like for
most other ISAP symposia devoted to the analysis and discussion of new concepts
and data, each attendants is strongly encouraged to bring one poster describing
his/her activities or recent data in relation to PK/PD of antiinfective agents
(this poster may be the same or a slightly modified version from one presented
at the 41st ICAAC). Posters will be on display for the whole duration
of the meeting and can be viewed during the regisitration time, at all intermissions,
during the Buffet dinner, and at the close of the meeting. Persons
wishing to present a poster must tell the organizers in advance (preferably
at the time of registration) to enable them to order the appropriate number
of boards (approx. 2 m large x 1 m high).
ISAP wishes to encourage young investigators to attend its scientific meetings. In this context, ISAP offers two (2) fellowships (US $ 500.- each) to young investigators who otherwise would be unable to attend the present meeting (this fellowship may complement other sources raised to attend ICCAC is these do not provide the necesssary amount for the additional day in Toronto, Ont., or are clearly unsufficient).
Please, contact the Secretary (Johan W. Mouton, MD PhD, Department of Medical Microbiology, Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital, Weg door Jonkerbos 100, NL-6532 SZ Nijmegen, The Netherlands; E-mail: <secretary@isap.org>; tel: +31-24-365 7514; fax: +31-24-365 7516) before September 5th, 2002. Submit a formal request supported by the necessary documentation of interest (abstract of poster) and provide evidence that you cannot raise money for attending out of your regular sources of funding or from money raised to attend ICAAC. Fellowships will be awarded based on scientific merits and of perception of a financial need.
Notification
to succesful applicants will be made by September 15, 2002.
Actual payment of the fellowships will be made at the time of the meeting
Registration is open to all ISAP members and to all professionals active or having ineterest in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antiinfective agents.All attendants (including ISAP members) must register to enable the organizers to make the appropriate food and beverage orders.
Registration fees:
San Diego Marriott
