Epithelial Transport Interest Group

Members of the Epithelial Transport Group (ETG) are interested in advancing the science of epithelial transport physiology and cell biology. ETG research cuts across the boundaries of traditional organ system physiology to promote communication, training and collaboration amongst diverse epithelial scientists at all career stages. ETG fosters innovation and research excellence by showcasing the latest advances in the field. Since its organization in 1992, ETG has grown substantially and includes members from all 12 American Physiological Society (APS) sections.

Each year, ETG members select two outstanding researchers to deliver a lecture on their state-of-the-art research the American Physiology Summit. The lectures are named in honor of epithelial transport pioneers Hans Ussing and Steve Hebert, who. The ETG Steering Committee reviews abstracts submitted to the American Physiology Summit and selects the top abstracts for oral sessions and poster award finalists. The group organizes an annual Summit pre-conference meeting devoted to talks from trainees and junior investigators. The pre-con also serves as a venue for trainees and established investigators to network.
