DEAR COLLEAGUE, It is our pleasure to announce the 3rd ACHA (Asian Conference on Hepatitis & AIDS), to be held on 9 - 10 May 2014 at the Peking University in Beijing, China. Over the years, treating viral diseases has become more and more complex. Given the increase in therapeutic options in Asia, clinicians and researchers will benefit from the opportunity to be informed and educated on the newest data and their implications for clinical practice. Simultaneous translation Mandarin - English and dual projection will be available. This workshop aims at bridging the gap between the knowledge that is shared among experts in the field and the knowledge of researchers and clinicians in daily practice. The format of the workshop will consist of a two-day program with invited plenary lectures, round table discussions, abstract presentations, clinical case presentations and poster viewing sessions. In order to stimulate interaction, much time will be allocated for questions and answers. We invite you to join us in Beijing for this extraordinary event and encourage you to submit abstracts on your recent research.
