Researchers from the UCL School of Pharmacy and Departments of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology / Cell and Developmental Biology will present their research at the Pharmacology 2014 conference, which is taking place on 16th-18th December 2014 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary, SW1P 3EE, London.

Pharmacology attracts around 900 scientists each year, mostly from the UK but also many from across Europe and from overseas. The meeting includes a selection of topical symposia, plenary lectures, free oral communications and poster sessions that cover the many aspects of pharmacology from basic to clinical science.
