Aims

• Optimize outcomes of antiviral therapy by applying clinical pharmacological principles

  We have learnt that understanding clinical pharmacological principles are key to optimize the outcome of antiviral therapy, for instance with antiretroviral therapy for HIV. For many agents, therapeutic ranges have been defined, and we have seen that optimized HIV treatment is achievable in a large majority of patients

• Identify special patient populations that can benefit from a personalized medicine approach

  We have also seen that several patient populations do not yet fully benefit from optimized HIV treatment, such as children, pregnant women, patients who have received bariatric surgery, etc. Studying these underserved patient populations helps in developing evidence-based recommendations for their HIV treatment.

• Translate our knowlegde on drug-drug interaction management for HIV to other disease areas

  Drug-drug interaction management is key in optimal management of persons living with HIV; we aim to translate our knowledge to other diseases areas.
