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.
