title: The Japanese Pharmacological Society 72nd annual meeting. 22-25 March 1999, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
abstract: The Japanese Pharmacological Society 72nd Annual Meeting was held in the city of Sapporo on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. The meeting attracted a host of pharmacologists, physiologists and molecular biologists from both industry and academia and provided a unique window on the current state of Japanese pharmacological R and D as we approach the millennium. The meeting was attended by over 1800 scientists and hosted 334 oral presentations and almost 700 posters. Molecular pharmacology was the subject of many presentations, focusing on the use of transgenic animals and genome analysis in drug research, while antimicrobials were largely absent.
