MSc in Animal Sciences - Physiology in Minneapolis United States | University of Minnesota Twin Cities

The animal physiology program provides students with the chance to earn M.S. and Ph.D. degrees by investigating essential biological processes across animal species. Faculty research delves into fundamental cellular, tissue, and organ system functions in animals and humans, applying this knowledge to improve animal production and advance treatments for both animal and human diseases. Reproductive biology studies focus on: neuroendocrine reproductive control, pituitary and intragonadal regulation of germ cell development, and seminal plasma analysis for fertility enhancement. Cellular and molecular disease research explores: ion and molecule transport regulation, aging/cellular senescence mechanisms, immortal cell line creation, and paracrine signaling in cancer development. Functional genomics research involves developing animal models for human disease treatment, with emphasis on diabetes and cystic fibrosis.
