Faculty

At the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, we train the next generation of leaders in biomedical science through innovative research, teaching and mentorship. Our approach emphasizes faculty-student interaction, integrated approaches to biomedical research and the use of state-of-the-art experimental methods that encourage the exchange of ideas, techniques and scientific collaboration.

Our faculty are dedicated to expert, interactive and research-driven teaching, which is reflected in our highly successful PhD, Master of Science and post-baccalaureate programs. We are equally committed to fostering a supportive and collaborative environment where all members of our community can thrive.
