Antiviral symposium and workshop--eighth international meeting.
The invited speakers for this exciting meeting could be loosely classified into three categories: (i) pre-eminent academic researchers on antivirals; (ii) academic researchers working on basic aspects of virology but whose work may lead to the development of novel antivirals; and, (iii) academic clinicians working with experimental antivirals or with diseases that require new antivirals. As expected from this selection, this meeting explored the future of antivirals, while still paying attention to the development of improved derivatives of currently available drugs.
