What we stand for
Our department has successfully blended our traditional systemic research approach with many new cellular and molecular approaches to research. In addition, we have developed strong research collaborations with clinical researchers to investigate physiological questions in areas such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc. Our department has a strong interest in cardiovascular research and our efforts are potentiated by research interactions with both basic science departments and many clinical departments and subspecialties. We are excited about the new and innovative research approaches being explored in our department and in the field of physiology. Irving Joshua, professor and chairman, along with our faculty and graduate students would like to welcome you to our website.

No, this is not a direct access or entry program. However, professional school admissions officers describe that applicants who demonstrate, via transcripts or standardized test scores, a better knowledge and understanding of the medical sciences are usually more attractive for admission. Earning a GPA of 3.5 or better in a medical-based science MS, coupled with significantly high standardized test scores, are typically viewed as application strengths.
