 |
| As the fourth conference in
the HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention series,
IAS 2007 will feature reports on the latest developments
in the areas of basic, clinical and prevention science.
|
| |
| The conference will continue
its strong emphasis on treatment and pathogenesis,
while building upon the biomedical prevention agenda
introduced |
|
|
| in Rio de Janeiro in 2005. As a defining
feature of the conference, IAS 2007 will examine how scientific
advances can, in very practical ways, inform the global response
to HIV/AIDS. |
| |
| The scientific programme of the 4th IAS
Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention aims
to provide new insights into HIV disease development, prevention
and care that can lead to novel research directions and help
translate theoretic advances into clinical practice and prevention
programmes. |
| |
| Comprised of experts from around the world,
the Scientific Programme Committee is committed to ensuring
that the IAS 2007 programme will address the most timely and
relevant scientific issues of the day, including the challenge
of expanding treatment in resource-limited settings and the
implications of emerging research on public and individual health.
|
| |
| The abstract-driven programme will feature
state-of-the-art research in three broad areas: basic, clinical
and prevention science. The basic sciences track will focus
on virology, immunology, pathogenesis and preclinical research
into drugs and vaccines. The clinical sciences track will cover
the spectrum from treatment and low-cost monitoring in resource
limited settings to new treatments, strategies and advanced
approaches to HIV care and treatment across specific populations.
|
| |
| The biomedical prevention track will focus
on strategies for preventing HIV transmission that have a biomedical
basis, such as vaccines, microbicides, chemoprophylaxis and
substitution therapy for drug dependence. |
| |
| In addition to abstract-driven sessions,
the conference will offer daily plenary sessions featuring distinguished
researchers, scientific leaders and clinical experts. Other
non-abstract driven sessions include symposia, offering keynote
addresses or presentations of outstanding abstracts, and bridging
sessions, which will provide an opportunity for a multi-disciplinary
discussion of a single issue from a variety of viewpoints. |
