Well done to my PhD Student, Ciara Fallon. She did a brilliant job with her presentation on the physiology of Bile Acids and FXR at the BASIC meeting in Coventry this weekend.
Enjoying a cocktail with @jrfw51 at the end of a long day......... fantastic meeting highlighting the wonderful complexity and importance of Bile Acids in so many aspects of human physiology.
