Abstract
Dr. Dan Sitar was the recipient of the 2004 CSCP Senior Investigator Award at the First Canadian Therapeutics Congress held in June 2004. He presented a lecture highlighting some of the studies he participated in that have contributed to an increased understanding of the role of aging on drug disposition and effect.
