10th ISAP Educational Workshop
An introduction to Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
Prague, May 1st, 2004; 14:30-17:30

  La défenestration de Praque ...

The defenestration of Prague ...

In cooperation with the 
14th European Congress of Clinical
Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID)
ECCMID ...

Scientific organizers: Hartmut Derendorf, PhD (University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA) & Johan W. Mouton, MD (Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital, Nijmegen, The Netherlands)



Goals and Format

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) have now become essential tools for determining the appropriate use of currently available anti-infective agents as well as for accelerating the development of new drugs.  While this is now more and more recognized by Academia, Industry and Regulatory Agencies (see the ISAP / FDA and ISAP / EMEA workshops held in 1999, there is presently a lack of training into these disciplines.  Accordingly, ISAP has endeavoured to launch educational activities in this context.  The aim is to train people professionally involved in development or in the use of antiinfective drugs in the basic and applied aspects of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, showing how these sciences have emerged over the last 10 years and how their influence has grown.  This 10th workshop of ISAP will continue the tradition of educational workshops initiated in Berlin, Germany, in 1999 and will include the latest developements discussed at ISAP research meetings and symposia during the last decade.

The workshop will be informal and each part will consist of a 20 minutes talk followed by a 10 minutes "Questions & Answers" period.  Every participant will be encouraged to ask questions (there are no stupid questions !!).

Each participant will receive a certificate for participation.

 Venue

The workshop will take in The Prague Congress Centre (PCC) in the "Conference Hall" ( 4th floor)

Located in a unique position on top of one of the Prague hills, offering a beautiful view of the famous skyline of Prague, with the silhouette of the Prague Castle, the PCC has its own metro station only three stops from downtown Prague. From Central Station (Hlavní nádraží), take metro line C (direction Háje). In Vyšehrad station you get off - this is the third station down from Hlavní nádraží. Prague Congress Centre is next to the station..
