Appreciation Award to Linda McNeill
Congratulations to Linda McNeill, Secretary for the Human Body Systems (HUBS) papers, for being a recipient of a Disability Information and Support Appreciation Award.
Academic and research staff in the 20 laboratories of the Department are engaged in high quality, internationally-recognised physiological research focussed on the three themes of Cardiovascular & Respiratory Physiology, Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience, and Membrane & Ion Transport. State-of-the-art technologies, including the use of transgenic mouse models, are used to undertake integrative, cellular and molecular investigations aimed at understanding animal and human physiology.
The six laboratories within the focus undertake research on various physiological and pathophysiological aspects of the mammalian cardiovascular and related systems.
The eight laboratories within the focus undertake integrative molecular and cellular investigations aimed at understanding the development and adult physiology of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Within the focus six groups are involved in investigations of the mechanisms and regulation of solute and water movement across cell membranes and resultant pathologies.
I love it how we are learning cutting edge research from people who are top in the world in their field of research.
