2023 - 19th World Congress in Pharmacology, Glasgow, UK
Our team, composed by Dr Dietis, Ms Hadjiyianni (Year 2 Med student) and Mr Temvriotis (Year 3 Med student) attended in July the WCP2023 in Glasgow and presented the Lab's work on "The ‘Drug Index Visual Map’: creating an open, digital, customisable, visual mapping tool for pharmacology teaching & learning". Andriana and Michael had an excellent presentation and attracted the warmest feedback and congratulations from academics and researchers present. Andriana and Michael were the only undergraduate Medical students presenting in this Congress! We had an excellent time during the Congress, meeting colleagues from around the world and had some fun around Glasgow! |
