August Krogh on Tour through Denmark
In 2020 it is 100 years ago that August Krogh – one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century – was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his discovery of the capillary motor regulating mechanism.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of August Krogh’s Nobel Prize the August Krogh Club is planning August Krogh on Tour; a number of symposia, seminars and other events. This is done in recognition of the enormous impact that August Krogh has had on the current excellent Danish physiological research environments.
