The Department of Physiological Sciences is Improving human health and advancing biomedical knowledge through education and research.
Physiology is essential in medical education and clinical training. That’s why our faculty provide students with an integrated understanding of physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry that covers cell structure and function; the mechanisms, interactions and applications of drugs; and metabolism and nutrition.
We use innovative classroom and lab techniques to help students develop critical thinking and patient-oriented problem-solving skills.
