Celebrating Physiology in London

30 Jun 2026 09:00 - 01 Jul 2026 18:00 - University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT

To celebrate our 150th anniversary in 2026, we have introduced a new, more inclusive membership model, including the launch of a new free category, Associate Member, to welcome qualified individuals and strengthen the future of the Society. This is alongside reduced global membership fees to make joining and staying involved more accessible for all.

Join us at University College London for a special celebration marking the Physiological Society’s 150th anniversary, highlighting the vital role of physiology and physiologists; past, present, and future.

The celebrations will include the Physiological Society Hodgkin-Huxley-Katz International Prize Lecture, delivered by Professor Kristen Harris (University of Texas at Austin USA).

Designed to spark discussion and encourage meaningful exchange, the symposium combines cutting-edge science with dedicated networking opportunities to foster collaboration across disciplines. In 2026, the Society celebrates its 150th anniversary: a landmark moment to celebrate physiologists past and present, the discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the body, and the community driving physiology forward. This meeting is one of the many exciting activities in our biggest programme of events to date celebrating this important milestone. All abstracts presented throughout the year will be published in a special 150th Anniversary Abstract Booklet, which will become part of our historical archive capturing a snapshot of physiological research in 2026.
