Further Retroconference reports and data on the web
10 April 2002. Related: On the web, CROI 9th (Retrovirus) 2002.
The official conference Web site.
http://www.retroconference.org
The most useful information on this site is:
Audio, video, and slides from the major plenary and symposium overview talks and panels (but not from the many technical sessions where new data were presented).
Searchable abstracts of both oral and poster talks. You can search for all abstracts that contain any given word — including an author’s last name, a drug name or medical term, or the abstract number if you know it. To search the abstracts, first make sure you are at the 9th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (the site will change for next year’s meeting), and select ‘Search Program and Abstracts.’
Many of the presentations will also have posters online. The posters have much more information than the abstracts, but there is no software available to search on them. These posters are usually formatted for display in a poster hall, but it is possible to read them online.
