Physiology and Pharmacology
A discipline of Ph.D. in Integrated Biomedical Sciences
The Physiology & Pharmacology discipline encompasses the study of fundamental mechanisms that underlie cellular and systems level function and dysfunction. In addition, this discipline examines how drugs influence these systems, with the ultimate goal being to better treat human disease. This discipline offers distinct curricular tracks for training in both classical, and modern Physiology and Pharmacology. It provides the opportunity for inter-disciplinary training that bridges these fields and provides exposure to knowledge and skills ranging from the detailed characterization and principles of drug-receptor interactions through to systems level analyses of physiological processes. A vibrant environment supports student development through team science, translational opportunities and clinical collaborations.
