Mission statement: The mission of the New England Drug Metabolism Discussion Group (NEDMDG) is to provide a common forum for discussions about current topics in drug metabolism research among industry and academic scientists drawn from a wide range of disciplines. To accomplish its mission, NEDMDG will sponsor periodic meetings in the greater Boston area to promote a vigorous exchange of ideas and information about state-of-the-art technologies and on-going basic research at the cutting edge of drug metabolism. If you are a scientist who is interested in participating in these meetings, you are invited to contact Jeanne Sherwood via email (at Jeanne_Sherwood@bd.com ) who will add your email address to the event announcement email distribution list.
