The Graduate Program

The graduate program in Physiology & Biophysics exposes students to a broad range of experimental and analytical skills required for a successful career in research and/or teaching. The research opportunities in the department are very broad, ranging from identification of key molecules in cell division to how decisions are formed and executed in the brain. Students, post-docs and faculty in the department share a common aim of bringing work in these diverse areas together to advance our understanding of how the body works. Our incoming students share one vital quality: a strong motivation and excitement about doing science.
