Welcome to the North Jersey ACS Drug Metabolism Discussion Group
Our mission: We are dedicated to fostering a
continued discussion on the scientific advances in drug
metabolism among the industrial and academic community.
We sponsor multiple meetings each year at which world renowned
scientists give presentations. The format of these meetings
range from dinner presentations and mini-symposiums to our
annual 1-2 day fall symposium.
