The following awards and honors were selected based on the rules and regulations of the Japanese Pharmacokinetics Society and the selection process for the 2008 awards and honors. Since there were no applications for the Kitagawa Award and the Distinguished Service Award, we have decided not to review them.
The award lecture and award ceremony will be held at the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Kumamoto on October 31, 2008.
