Integrative Physiology

The Integrative Physiology program (formerly Physiology and Developmental Biology) studies the processes that occur within all living organisms including the regulation of functions at the subcellular, cell, tissue, organ and whole organism levels, as well as their interactions and integration. Courses also address how internal and external factors affect physiology across different taxonomic groups.

Topics of study in Integrative Physiology

Students have the opportunity to study a diverse range of topics in the Integrative Physiology program such as:

  • endocrinology,
  • neurophysiology,
  • developmental biology,
  • immunology,
  • cell signaling,
  • toxicology,
  • and environmental physiology in a wide variety of organisms.
