UCC Physiology at the Euros!
Several academic staff and PhD trainees of the Department and former undergraduates of BSc Physiology Class of 2018 will attend the Europhysiology 2018 meeting in London (September 13-16).
The meeting is a collaboration between The Physiological Society, the Scandanavian Physiological Society, the Deutsche Physiologische Gesellschaft, and the Federation of European Physiological Societies with over 1300 registered attendees expected at the inaugural event, which will be followed by meetings in Berlin (2020) and Copenhagen (2022). Oral and poster communications will be presented at the meeting by early-career trainees showcasing some of the research activity currently underway in the Department.
