Dear colleagues,
The new drugs for the treatment of Hepatitis C Virus infection will bring new chances but also challenges for treatment and diagnostics. To obtain an update on evolving new drugs against HCV, their resistance patterns and the ensuing consequences for treatment and diagnostics we will hold a Mini-Symposium on Dec 8, 2011 at the University Hospital Zurich.The program and further details on the symposium can be downloaded from our website http://www.virology.uzh.ch/newsd_en.html.
We hope you find this topic interesting and look forward to see you in December.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Trkola
