Cellular and Molecular Physiology explores how molecular and cellular mechanisms drive complex physiological functions. Our experts cover the full spectrum of modern physiology, from gene expression control to organism-wide biological systems. With a distinguished legacy, we stand as a global hub for pioneering research in fundamental human physiology. We foster interdisciplinary collaborations to tackle critical physiological challenges, creating essential connections between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications.
This program encompasses investigations into molecular architecture and activity, cellular communication pathways, and intricate cellular behaviors that form the foundation of tissue and organ system functions in complex life forms. Our research spans molecular, biophysical, and computational approaches to developmental and post-genomic physiological studies, utilizing model organisms from microorganisms to mammals.
We especially encourage research proposals aligned with our faculty's expertise in areas such as:
Cellular function studies, emphasizing intracellular communication, membrane trafficking, and cell division processes
Organ system physiology, covering tumor microenvironments, digestive system function, stem cell dynamics, and developmental biology
Smooth muscle function research, including reproductive system physiology, urinary tract microcirculation, and respiratory health
Gut epithelial cell studies in normal and pathological states
Neural communication research, combining cell biology, structural biology, and model organism studies to examine neurological aging, degeneration, and substance dependence
Calcium signaling investigations, currently concentrating on calcium's role, mitochondrial activity, and energy metabolism in pancreatic disorders and secretion regulation
Blood vessel biology, including medical applications of vascular implants
Pathogen invasion processes and immune system reactions
Tumor biology, focusing on supportive tissue environments, cancer cell spread, and secondary tumor formation.
