Programs of Study

Faculty interests cover many areas of physiology from whole-organ systems to single-cell functions. Current research projects include studies in neurophysiology, ion transport in epithelial cells, temperature regulation, control of respiration, the cardiovascular system, energetics of muscle contraction, spinal cord injury, endocrinology and neuroendocrinology, autonomic control of gastrointestinal functions, biomechanics, and environmental physiology. Liaisons with clinical departments and their faculty are possible when research projects require clinical expertise.
