The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology has implemented an Erasmus + Programme with Democritus University of Thrace.  The Erasmus + Programme is funded by the European Union to facilitate exchange of faculty and students between partner universities. 

The faculty members participating in this year's exchange are Dr. Sotiria Boukouvala from Democritus University of Thrace and Dr. David Hein from the University of Louisville.  Dr. Boukouvala visited UofL April 3-7 and met with faculty and students to describe the Erasmus + Programme and to present her current research.  Dr. Hein is scheduled to visit Democritus University of Thrace in late May.

Angeliki Lykoudi is a student enrolled in the Molecular Biology and Genetics program at Democritus University of Thrace funded through the Erasmus + Programme to complete research April through June 2017 at the University of Louisville. Her research project is a collaborative effort between Dr. Boukouvala, Dr. David Hein and Dr. Gavin Arteel.
