We are a coalition of ~15 research groups focussed on the molecular, cellular, biophysical, endocrine and integrative aspects of Physiology. In the context of the Biomedical Sciences, the discipline of Physiology plays a key unifying role bringing together the research from related areas into the whole organism. Our aim is to foster collaboration across the School of Biomedical Sciences, its affiliated Institutes and University in understanding the workings of key organs (e.g. the brain, pituitary, reproductive tissues, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, bone, pancreas, muscle, heart and blood vessels) and how alterations in these fundamental mechanisms lead to numerous diseases. Through our teaching, interactions, seminars, publication and funding, we provide opportunities for world-class post-graduate training and career development.
Vision Statement
Our goal is to be a driving force in the unification of the diverse disciplines that represent Physiology. We aim to nurture, through excellence in research and teaching, both the current and next generations of internationally competitive physiologists.
