The program focuses on quantitative methods to study how cells, organs, and systems function in living organisms. PhD candidates complete a core curriculum offering comprehensive training in membrane physiology, cellular processes, transport mechanisms, and organ system operations. Customized study plans are designed to enhance each student's expertise while addressing knowledge gaps that might hinder specialized research. All participants gain teaching opportunities. While the Twin Cities graduate program specializes in cardiovascular research, it covers numerous other disciplines. Applicants may join the PhD program from either the Twin Cities or Duluth campus. We welcome applications from highly skilled candidates with strong quantitative abilities. In the Twin Cities, potential students include medical professionals currently at or considering the University of Minnesota for residency or fellowship programs. New PhD students complete laboratory rotations to explore various research fields within the program. Faculty and research labs come from multiple departments, including Integrative Biology and Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Pharmacology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Kinesiology, and Animal Science.
