It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 21st Congress of the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring & Clinical Toxicology (IATDMCT) 2023 in Oslo. The congress venue Oslo Congress Centre is located in the heart of Oslo, within walking distance from a range of hotels as well as the Oslo Central Station with frequent communications to the Oslo Airport (OSL).

The slogan for our congress is “Personalized under the Northern Sky”, which hints you to the presentation of some currently hot topics in Scandinavia in addition to the themes that are important and obligatory for our association. The IATDMCT Congress provides an opportunity for promoting, updating and learning the science and clinical practice of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology. The program includes TDM and personalized treatment in therapeutic areas like cardiovascular drugs including statins, biologicals in rheumatology, antivirals and other anti-infectives, immunosuppressives, antipsychotics and more. There will be sessions on pharmacogenetics, pharmacometrics plus machine learning and AI, advancements in relevant analytical techniques, analyses related to toxic plants, doping control and toxicity of recreational drug and new psychoactive substances. We are also planning a pre-congress symposium on microsampling and patients' home sampling including hands-on practice.

We look forward to meeting you in Oslo in September –colleagues, members of the IATDMCT as well as non-members of any profession with interest in the listed topics.

Yours Sincerely
Prof. Stein Bergan
