Physiology examines the biological processes that enable organisms to function. This field covers various complexity levels, including (but not restricted to) neural transmission in the nervous system, circulatory mechanisms, hormonal control, disease-related physiological changes, and tissue drug metabolism studies. As a cornerstone for comprehending human body functions, physiology underpins medical science. Advances in molecular biology now allow unprecedented precision and scope in investigating cellular and organ system operations. Faculty research within the physiology focus group bridges diverse domains, from molecular and cellular processes to systemic functions, connecting microscopic mechanisms with organ performance and overall organismal health.
