North Jersey ACS Drug Metabolism Discussion Group
“Novel Drug Delivery Approaches”
[ program ] [raw]
NOTICE: This symposium is postponed to Sept 10 (tentative date).
In light of the evolving situation with the COVID-19 viral outbreak in the US and the world, it is with the deepest regret that we make the difficult decision to postpone the Spring Symposium to September 10, 2020 (tentative date). Besides our concern for the health of our participants, many local companies, vendors and contract research organizations have issued travel guidelines that restrict or prohibit associates from attending conferences, which would greatly limit the size of the audience at the meeting in April.
