The 21st International Congress of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring & Clinical Toxicology (IATDMCT 2023) will be held 24-27 September 2023 in Oslo, Norway. IATDMCT 2023 will be the most important opportunity for experts in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology from the world to meet and discuss the innovations and problems in the field. The organizing committee cordially invites you to submit your abstract for the 21st International Congress of the IATDMCT to be held in Oslo September 24-27, 2023. Deadline for submitting abstracts: April 15, 2023.

Registration to the congress is now open. The deadline for early bird registration is June 15th. You will find the registration fees favorable as the local NOK is weak toward most other currencies.

Accommodation for the congress: See info on the congress website. Please note that the hotels in central Oslo are popular, so you are advised to book early. Search among the many hotel options in central Oslo by your favorite hotel booking website; this gives you the most favorable pricing. Descriptions correspond well with realities, so you have the opportunity to select according to your own requirements and price level.

Program details are currently also being updated on the website.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Oslo in September!

Eight Drugs a Week – Episode 4 – TDM of anticancer drugs: We can work it out!

This episode is about the TDM of anticancer therapies, a space where there is a sense of frustration about body-size based dosing, but while concentration-based promises to make a difference to clinical care, it still feels that progress has been less than satisfying. Florian opens the episode with an ode to oncologists, a song from the heart to say: ‘We can work it out!’ Our guests are Dirk Jan Moes and Vikram Gota, both very active in working things out in this space, in different corners of the world.
