FIP RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM​

​Frontiers in Physiology (FIP) is the annual research symposium of the Department of Physiology at the University of Toronto. ​Every spring, FIP brings together researchers from sites across the city.​ The symposium features research conducted by our students and trainees in our four research platforms (Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems, Neuroscience, Reproduction & Development, and Endocrine & Diabetes) and programs (MSc, MHSc, and PhD).

FIP features the Archibald Byron Macallum Lecture, delivered by a distinguished physiologist. Each of the department's four platforms host speakers on a rotating basis.
