Since joining Medway School Of Pharmacy in June 2017, Dr Stella Koutsikou collaborated with researchers in the Department of Physiological Sciences* at the University of Florida. She visited the university twice, in August and December 2017 to carry out pilot experiments. Back in August Dr Koutsikou and her collaborators in Florida submitted an NIH grant application, which was unsuccessful. She is planning to go over again in September 2018 to carry on with the research and re-work the grant application, for submission late in 2018.
Furthermore, Dr Stella Koutsikou has given a research talk to that department. She is in continuous contact with academic staff and they are aware of her new place of work. They share notes on teaching, as there is a lot of overlap, and she plans to carry on applying for further joint US-based grants.
* The Department of Physiological Sciences is part of the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville
