8th International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy

8th International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy is organized by Overcome and will be held during Dec 12 - 15, 2017 at Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay, Miami, Florida, United States of America.

The delegates are delighted to announce the Eight International Workshop on HIV Persistence during Therapy, scheduled for December 12-15, 2017 in Miami.

Since the first edition of this workshop in 2003 in St Maarten, the issue of "HIV Persistence and Reservoirs" has become more relevant, not only for the biologist but also for the clinician facing the problem of the long-term control of this persistent retroviral infection.

Several meetings have now included reviews on these topics in their program, but this workshop is unanimously recognized as "The Reference Workshop on HIV Reservoirs and Eradication Strategies." Our main objective is to keep it driven by Science and new data.

The program format will continue to follow the past successes and include presentations of new, unpublished data and a panel of experts to sum up the current advances in the field. The number of participants is now limited to 250. As in the past, abstract selection will be extremely rigorous and conducted by the Scientific Committee, focusing on new progress in the field.

Course Topics
• Basic science of HIV latency
• In vitro and animal model studies of HIV Persistence
• Virology of HIV persistence
• Immunology of HIV persistence
• Pharmacology & drug discovery
• Human studies
• New therapeutic approaches targeting the reservoir

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
