Physiology

The Department of Physiology is dedicated to understanding how living organisms and their parts function. Our faculty and students explore the intricate processes that govern life, from the molecular and cellular levels to the function of entire organ systems. The work done here is fundamental to all biomedical sciences.

Research Focus:

Our research spans a wide range of topics within the field of physiology. We investigate the mechanisms underlying various bodily functions and dysfunctions, including:

• Cardiovascular Physiology: Studying the heart, blood vessels, and blood pressure regulation.

• Neurophysiology: Exploring the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

• Endocrinology: Investigating hormones, endocrine glands, and their role in metabolism and development.

• Respiratory Physiology: Focusing on the mechanics of breathing and gas exchange in the lungs.

• Renal Physiology: Understanding the function of the kidneys and fluid balance.

We offer comprehensive academic programs for undergraduate students. Our curriculum provides a strong foundation in the principles of physiology, preparing students for careers in medicine, research, biotechnology, and public health. We emphasize hands-on learning through laboratory sessions and research projects. Our graduates are well-equipped to make significant contributions to the scientific and medical communities.
