Ion Channels Trimming the Brain#

International Symposium “Ion channels trimming the brain” will be held at Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (Kiev, Ukraine) on September 24-26, 2015. The Symposium will be dedicated to several important dates: 40 years of intracellular perfusion, 35 years after a discovery of proton receptor and 70th anniversary of Academia Europaea member Oleg Krishtal.

The symposium is supported by Academia Europaea.
