Molecules to Integrated Systems
Physiology is the study of how body systems work.
Physiologists investigate everything from the
interaction of individual molecules to how intact
organisms function. Understanding cell and system
physiology holds the key to discovering new ways of
preventing and curing disease. Research in the
department focuses on: ion channels and
transporters, gene transcription, signal
transduction, nuclear transport, synapse formation,
nerve regeneration, neuroscience, immunology, and
biomathematics of physiological systems. Come and
discover research in our Department.
Three programs, Faculty, Major, and Honours are
offered by the Department of Physiology. All
students entering the Department initially register
in the Faculty program. The first year of a degree
program in physiology is generally like that of
other sciences, with the student studying common
core courses in biology, chemistry, biochemistry and
physiology.
Specialized interdisciplinary programs in physiology and math and physiology and
physics lets students explore
more than one discipline in some depth, bringing different perspectives to the
study of Physiology. In addition the Department of Physiology participates
in the Interdepartmental Joint Honors Program offered together with the
Departments of Biochemistry and Microbiology and Immunology. Our Research Project course gives final-year
undergraduate students an opportunity to explore potential career choices
through a supervised experience in the laboratory.
