From molecules to the full human body: We integrate approaches of molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, genomics and anatomy to understand fundamental human physiology. Researchers in this group study mechanisms and regulatory functions across a spatial scale ranging from 60 nanometers (a single molecule) to 6 billion nanometers (the full human body). This area of study requires curiosity, creativity and collaboration, and our faculty mentors are proud to cultivate these characteristics in students and trainees through hands-on laboratory experiences. Graduates from our programs gain the knowledge and skills necessary to set them up for successful careers in academia, government, private industry and more.
Current areas of study in integrative physiology include:
- Cardiovascular physiology
- Central nervous system physiology
- Gastrointestinal physiology
- Sensory physiology
