Professor Nikolaus Plesnila, Professor and Chair of Neurodegeneration, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), will deliver a Guest Lecture at the Beaumont Neuroscience Conference on Friday, December 4th from 08.00 to 08.45. The title of the lecture will be "Pathophysiology of acute brain injury"
Professor Plesnilla is an exerimental neurosurgeon with major research interests in Cerebral Ischaemia and Cerebral Trauma. His talk will be of interest to Neurosurgeons, anaesthetists and Intensivists.
