RAMI Biomedical Sciences Annual Meeting 2016
The Department of Physiology was very well represented at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Section of Biomedical Sciences Meeting which was held June 18th at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
Andrew O’Leary (O’Halloran laboratory) presented an oral communication as part of the Donegan Medal competition. Several posters were also presented by undergraduate students and postgraduate and postdoctoral trainees, including several collaborative projects currently underway in the department.
Congratulations to Rebecca O’Brien (O’Malley laboratory) and Karen O’Connor (O’Halloran laboratory) on their success in winning in the best posters category.
