Physiology aims to study biological functions across all scales, from molecular processes to medical applications. As a field, physiology bridges the gap between fundamental biological research and practical health challenges in humans and animals. We strive to deepen knowledge about how molecules, cells, tissues, and organisms function, particularly in relation to human biology and medicine, while preparing future researchers, clinicians, and educators. To achieve this, we offer a graduate program in Molecular, Integrative and Systemic Physiology, along with post-graduate certificates in Anatomy and Histotechnology. Our department prioritizes groundbreaking research and maintains a strong commitment to educational excellence. The Department of Physiology is a dynamic, expanding community dedicated to fostering an innovative scientific environment. Our research-focused curriculum leads to M.S. or Ph.D. degrees, with pioneering work in five key areas: cancer biology, endocrinology, metabolism, neuroscience, and reproductive biology. We prepare driven students for careers in academia, industry, and government through teaching and research opportunities.
