Frontiers of Physiology Beijing Forum 2019

 

With the rapid progress of the modern biological sciences, we become more clearly aware that physiological research should be conducted to reveal the microscopic mechanisms of the whole-body functions in healthy and diseased conditions. However, it has been a challenge to integrate molecular analysis and systemic functions. Therefore, to promote the future development of physiological sciences, we are inviting the world’s leading physiologist to exchange the ideas and recent progresses in the frontiers of modern physiology together with domestic leading physiologists. The forum will also provide an excellent opportunity for students to actively participate in a world-class advanced scientific exchange in the area of physiological sciences.
