Cell & Molecular Physiology (PhD)
Cell & Molecular Physiology PhD Integrated Program for Biomedical Sciences (IPBS)
The Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine is pioneering the development of new approaches to study cells and organisms in the new discipline of systems biology. The ultimate goal of our research is to create new knowledge about the function and interactions of living cells, the cellular and molecular basis for dysfunction, and ultimately provide the basis for the development of new clinical treatment strategies to combat disease.
The PhD in Cellular and Molecular Physiology trains students to acquire, analyze and integrate data obtained from their basic research into a physiological context to understand the molecular basis of cell function and dysfunction within the organism. With cardiovascular research and neurosciences & metabolism as main research topics, students receive a solid integrated training in basic medical sciences including biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and pathophysiology.
In order to join the Cell and Molecular Physiology PhD track, students must apply to the Integrated Program for Biomedical Scienes (IPBS).
