About Us:

The California Analytical Chemists Organization (CACO) is a non-profit professional organization of scientists and other professionals in analytical chemistry, mass spectrometry, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, and related fields, working in diverse organizations such as biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry, instrumentation and analytical product suppliers, universities, government laboratories and contract research organizations. Currently we have about 3000 members in the San Francisco Bay Area and the San Diego Area.

Mission Statement:

The mission of CACO is to promote the exchange of scientific and technical ideas, and to provide educational and growth opportunities in the fields of analytical chemistry, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and related disciplines. We foster interactions and disseminate information through seminar luncheons, targeted workshops (short courses), expert forums, vendor shows, and job opening announcements.
