March 2010 Newsletter
Greetings!
Conference
season is fully underway and we at AsisChem are getting right into the
mix. Coming up this month we will be at the American Chemical Society
in San Fransisco from March 21st through March 25th. If anybody is
interested in learning about our progress since the last ACS meeting we
would love to meet with you. You can contact Mel Bellott to discuss details.
WINSTON-SALEM,

gerontology who led the study. "So, if you feel old beyond your own
chronological years you are probably going to experience a lot of the
downsides that we associate with aging. Read More
I know there are projects that need custom synthesis, medicinal chemistry or chemical consulting. Why wait any longer submit an inquiry or use our Ask-A-Chemist service!
