About us

Since 2005, the PhysChem Forum has hosted an annual two day meeting covering a variety of topics around the themes of physical chemistry (PhysChem) and Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity.

There is a recognized need within the PhysChem and ADMET industry for a discussion forum; especially for those scientists carrying out practical research and analytical work in the field, particularly with new modalities for drug design such as beyond rule of five.

There have been a number of extremely high quality international meetings covering various aspects of this field. While the papers presented at those meetings have been cutting edge, there has been limited scope for bench scientists to meet in a more informal setting allowing them to present current work, discuss challenges that were overcome and deliberate those yet to be faced. Furthermore those meetings have generally been expensive, thus precluding multiple attendees from smaller departments. The PhysChem Forum Symposium event series is attempting to address those specific aspects by an adapted, yet very successful proven format. The PhysChem Forum is totally free and its successful organisation relies on the passion and engagement of many people who dedicate their time and effort to make the PhysChem Forum a reality.
