The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the scientific study of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics. Founded in 1908, ASPET is one of the oldest and most influential organizations in the field of pharmacology in the United States.
History[edit | edit source]
ASPET was established to promote physiological research and to facilitate communication among researchers in pharmacology and related fields. Since its inception, the society has grown significantly and now includes over 5,000 members from around the world, including scientists from academia, industry, and government.
Mission and Activities[edit | edit source]
The mission of ASPET is to advance the science of pharmacology and to foster the education and training of pharmacologists. The society is committed to ensuring that research in pharmacology is conducted ethically and with the highest standards.
ASPET organizes annual meetings where members can present their research, attend workshops, and network with peers. These meetings also feature sessions on career development and educational resources for students and early-career scientists.
The society also publishes several respected journals, including The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Molecular Pharmacology, and Pharmacological Reviews. These journals are critical resources for researchers in the field, providing a platform for the dissemination of important scientific discoveries.

ASPET plays a crucial role in education and advocacy for the pharmacology community. The society offers various awards and fellowships to support researchers at different stages of their careers, particularly young investigators and underrepresented minorities.
Furthermore, ASPET is active in policy-making, working with governmental and non-governmental organizations to advocate for funding and policies that support scientific research and drug development.

Membership in ASPET is open to anyone with an interest in pharmacology and experimental therapeutics. The society offers several categories of membership, including regular, student, and affiliate memberships, each providing various benefits such as access to ASPET journals, reduced fees for meetings, and eligibility for awards and travel grants.
