ASPET’s Focus on Pharmacology is celebrating its second anniversary! What started as an idea to provide online content for one summer has turned into a valued member benefit providing the latest in scientific research, lab technique workshops, professional and career development, and demos of innovative teaching methods. Each webinar attracts about 70 registrants from around the world. Participants consistently rate their satisfaction between 4 and 5 stars (out of 5).

Live Webinars Coming This Fall
The ASPET Division for Drug Metabolism and Disposition began hosting quarterly webinars last year. The fourth installment of Current Advances in Drug Metabolism will take place on September 30. The series was created to stimulate discussion and promote young scientists’ careers in this field. All speakers are young scientists who share their most recent research findings and achievements.
The ASPET Division for Molecular Pharmacology’s series is Learn from a Pro: Methods in Cell Signaling and Pharmacology. The third installment, to be held on October 12, will feature Dr. Carmen Dessauer and Dr. Anibal Garza Carbajal. The discussion will focus on the technique of high-content imaging as it relates to cluster analysis of single-cell type responses in a mixed population, how it can be applied to the fields of molecular pharmacology and cell signaling and what is needed to perform high-content imaging.
The fourth installment in the Learn from a Pro technique workshops will be presented on December 7 when Dr. Karen Gregory will lead an interactive session about applying operational models to quantify agonism or allosterism, commonly applied analytical frameworks for GPCR pharmacology. Critical elements of experimental design and core assumptions will be discussed, as well as how these methods can enrich drug discovery.
