The Discipline itself was established in , when the King's Professorship of the Institutes of Medicine was replaced by the Chair of Physiology. Four incumbents have held the Chair over that period: Physiology is function - it is the science of how the body works.

It describes how cells operate, how they combine their functions in specific organs, and how these organ systems work together to maintain a stable environment inside the body. Physiology is the functional basis of the health sciences, because most disease states are the result of disturbances of physiological pr ocesses. A basic knowledge of physiology is therefore essential for all students whose professional careers will involve aspects of health and patient care. Physiology is also one of the key subjects in biomedical science and continues to be at the forefront of biomedical research.

Physiologists aim to use their research findings to increase our understanding of how the human b ody works and thereby assist in the development of better treatments for disease, or help to improve athletic performance. Its importance as a research discipline is exemplified by the annual award of a Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine. What general skills will I learn as a physiology student?

All experimental scientists receive a general training that is of great value in later employment, be that in scientific or in other disciplines. They learn to think analytically - to break a problem down into its component parts and then to examine those parts critically. They also learn to assimilate and criticise the accumulated ideas of others.

Problem-solving is lear nt by experience in the laboratory as well as through study problems. It is, of course, not enough merely to carry out experiments; it is also essential to be able to communicate the results of one's work to others. Development of writing and oral presentation skills is therefore an important component of the undergraduate training programme. What can I do with a Physiology degree? Over the years, our graduates have used their general scientific training and their specialised knowledge of physiology to find employment in a wide variety of jobs.

Some have gone on to further training in physiology, taking higher degrees and becoming research scientists in hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry or government agencies or obtaining academic posts within universities. Others have entered second-level teaching or the business world, while others again have moved into health-related fields such as medicine, physiotherapy, pharmacy and fitness counselling.

A high proportion of all graduates acquire some form of further qualification before entering employment and physiologists are no exception. Of the physiology graduates who decided not to pursue further studies, the survey found that around one-third were already in full-time posts and that none were still seeking employment. Fields of employment entered directly on graduation were mainly in the financial sector banking and insurance and information technology.

Entry to the Sophister programme in Physiology is highly competitive, as a maximum of only 18 places are available.

Places are awarded competitively on the basis of the results of Senior Freshman examinations. Course Outline Students taking the Senior Freshman biology courses are introduced to the basic physiology of the main body organs comprising the nervous brain and spinal cord , cardiovascular blood circulation , respiratory lungs , gastrointestinal digestion , excretory kidneys and endocrine hormones systems.

Courses in the Sophister years build on this foundation to provide a detailed understanding of cellular, organ and whole-body function, together with training in scientific methodology, experimental design, data analysis and resource skills. Over the second half of the Senior Sophister fourth year, each student undertakes an individual research project under the direction of a staff member. These projects may be based within the Discipline or in one of the associated hospital disciplines and include a literature survey and production of a written dissertation.

Assessment Assessment within the Sophister programme is by a combination of in-course evaluation and formal examination. Final assessment at the end of the Senior Sophister year includes viva voce examination by an external examiner. Three hundred 5th year students from more than ten schools across Dublin attended the oversubscribed event which was opened by Professor Clive Williams, Dean of the Faculty of En gineering, Mathematics and Science, and supported by local high-tech employers such as Merck, Pfizer and Intel.

Students learnt what it is like to work in a variety of Chemistry-b ased jobs such as the national forensic science laboratory, a multinational pharmaceutical company or even as a publisher of scientific journals. The event was universally well-received, by students and teachers alike, making for a lively question and answers session. Two presentations were given by members of the Gunnlaugsson Research Group. Jonathan Kitchen gave a lecture o n the recent development within the Research group and more specifically on the development of novel luminescent self-assembly material for the sensing of biological molecules su ch as phosphorylated amino acids.

Oxana Kotova presented a poster on the development of novel lanthanide luminescent self-assembly polymer material that has potential applic ation in medical devices; but this work was carried out in collaborate with the team of Prof.

Kotova was awarded the Poster Prize for her contribution on the day. From left to right: She worked for 10 weeks together with postdoctoral fellow Ilaria Biondi on a project aimed at functionalising the surface of carbon nano-onions with a spiropyran derivativ e. Her results were presented at the SURE poster competition on August 22, where she was awarded the first prize for her presentation.

Lehn took the audience on a tour of the history of Chemistry via a selection of what he considered to be key eureka moments; from the early endeavours of the ancient Greeks to the beginnings of the subject as we know it today, finishing with the efforts of contemporary scientists to design and control molecular systems capable of the types of organization, regulation and even evolution more usually associated with biological systems.

The Lecture concluded with a nod to the future, positing that Chemistry will contribute to the design of ever more complicated systems capable of mimicking or integrating with Biology. The lecture was well received by the audience in the Tercentenary Hall, which included members of the Cocker family and the French ambassador to Ireland, HE Mme.
