ASCEPT members have many diverse interests and so have formed Special Interest Groups to acknowledge these strengths, to enhance the cohesion of the Society and to promote and advance the study and application of pharmacology and toxicology in its broadest context. Currently, there are SIGs in the following areas:
- Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics
- Drug Disposition and Response
- Drug Discovery
- Education Forum
- New Zealand Forum
- Pharmacogenomics
- Student Forum
- Toxicology
- Urogenital and Gastrointestinal
- Neuropharmacology
Members are invited to submit symposia topics for each ASM, to request sponsorship of small meetings of interest to ASCEPT members and to hold special SIG events. All such proposals should be submitted to the ASCEPT Secretariat using the SIG Activity Proposal form download here.
