Epithelial Transport Interest Group

The Epithelial Transport Group (ETG) is interested in advancing the science of epithelial transport physiology and cell biology. ETG cuts across the boundaries of traditional organ system physiology to promote communication, training and collaboration amongst diverse epithelial scientists at all stages of career development. 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 of the American Physiological Society (APS) sections.

Each year, the ETG selects two outstanding researchers to deliver a lecture on their state-of-the-art research the American Physiology Summit. The lectures honor the epithelial transport pioneers Hans Ussing and Steve Hebert respectively. The ETG steering committee selects the top EB abstracts in the field for oral sessions and poster award finalists. The group organizes an annual Summit pre-conference meeting that is devoted to talks from trainees and junior investigators. It also serves as a venue for trainees and established investigators to network.
