About us
Groupe de Métabolisme et Pharmacocinétique
The GMP was founded in 1988 by researchers of the Pharmaceutical Industry.
This association (governed by the French Law from 1901) is managed by a committee of 8 elected members. Members may hold office for a maximum of 4 years. Each year the longest-standing 2 members are replaced. There are currently around 300 members.
The objective of our association is to promote the knowledge of and the exchange between members involved in Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism. Once a year, the GMP organizes a 2 day symposium (plenary sessions) with lectures given by experts from academia and the pharmaceutical industry to highlight principal emerging areas of interest for the scientific community.
