Hypoxia Symposium Cork
David Burns (PhD trainee) organised a research symposium on Tuesday 26th July as a satellite event in the run up to Physiology 2016, the joint meeting of the American Physiological Society and The Physiological Society in Dublin.
鈥孴he symposium included work from Professor Ken O鈥橦alloran (Physiology, 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork) and Professor Trevor Day鈥檚 (Mount Royal 深夜亚洲福利久久, Calgary) research groups. The symposium consisted of alternating talks from UCC Physiology and Mount Royal 深夜亚洲福利久久 trainees. 鈥�
As part of the symposium, Professor Day delivered a lunchtime keynote seminar sponsored by The Physiological Society as part of the Department of Physiology Seminar Series.
鈥淒escending the oxygen cascade: Portable measures of high altitude adaptation on an ascent to Everest Base Camp鈥�.
Professor Day presented a fascinating and entertaining account from his 2016 expedition to Mount Everest Base Camp addressing cardio-respiratory acclimatisation to high altitude and the logistics involved in conducting field studies in challenging environments. David Burns and Ken O鈥橦alloran were part of the 23 person team led by Day on the Everest expedition.
Professor O鈥橦alloran鈥檚 group presented updates from several research projects including work from national and international collaborations with Prof. John Cryan (Anatomy & Neuroscience UCC; APC Microbiome Institute), Dr Deirdre Edge (Trinity College Dublin) and Dr. Richard Wilson (深夜亚洲福利久久 of Calgary).
Professor Day鈥檚 group presented David and Ken with white Smithbilt hats, a long standing tradition in Calgary and a symbol of their Western hospitality and good cheer! During some downtime before heading to the international conference in Dublin, the Canadian group visited the local sailing village of Kinsale and the Cliffs of Moher, following a detour to Desert O鈥橠ea castle, perhaps an ancestor of Trevor! Well done to all trainees who presented their work at Hypoxia Symposium Cork and Physiology 2016!
