ISAP Workshop Program at the Ehrlich II 2008 World Conference
The workshop of the International Society of Anti-Infective Pharmacology (ISAP) at the Ehrlich I meeting in 2004 was a great success and we are very pleased having many of the world class scientists and thought leaders in their fields to give the ISAP workshop at the Ehrlich II 2008 meeting.

Workshop participants will get the opportunity to hear a large variety of topics and opinions from a variety of perspectives and can personally discuss their questions with the professors in the question and answer sessions. This program offers great opportunities to make the first steps in a new field, get new knowledge, or learn about the pulse of cutting-edge research by leading scientists.
