The ASCPT 2020 Annual Meeting Has Been Cancelled Due to COVID-19
After significant consideration, the ASCPT Board of Director’s has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Annual Meeting.

A message was sent to all registered attendees on Wednesday, March 4, 2020, to confirm the unprecedented, but necessary, cancellation of the ASCPT 2020 Annual Meeting, which results from growing concerns about COVID-19. Click here to view the full announcement. 

The Society asks for your patience and understanding as we find our way through this unfortunate situation. We also remind all attendees that they are responsible for cancelling their hotel reservation. To cancel your existing reservation with the Marriott Marquis Hotel, please call the hotel directly at 713-654-1777.

To assist ASCPT in navigating claims with insurers and vendors, we implore anyone who was required to cancel registration based on organizational travel restriction or ban, or physician recommendation, to contact meetings@ascpt.org with details. 

We look forward to seeing everyone in Washington, DC, March 9-13, for the 2021 Annual Meeting. 

Clinical and Translational Science Announces New Associate Editor and Wiley has Resources for Your Coronavirus Research
Join ASCPT is welcoming the newest associate editor to the leadership of Clinical and Translational Science and take advantage of Wiley’s author resources for Coronavirus research. 

Clinical and Translational Science is pleased to announce the newest member of the CTS Team, Associate Editor Erica L. Woodahl, PhD. 

Dr. Woodahl is an Associate Professor at the University of Montana in the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her research focuses on precision medicine and pharmacogenomics to identify sources of interindividual variability in disease treatment and prevention (e.g., genes, environment, and lifestyle). Dr. Woodahl’s research is part of the Northwest-Alaska Pharmacogenomics Research Network (NWA-PGRN), whose goals are to engage indigenous populations in precision medicine research. Her laboratory is also focused on understanding the mechanisms by which pharmacogenomics alter the function of drug-metabolizing enzymes (e.g., cytochrome P450 drug-metabolizing enzymes), drug transporters (e.g., ATP-binding cassette transporters), and regulatory proteins that contribute to drug disposition.
