Physiology
is the study of how the body's major systems are organized
and how they act and interact with one another to enable
the individual to adapt and survive in the face of changing
needs and resources.
Modern scientists seek not only to describe physiological
processes, but also to understand them mechanistically
at a physical, chemical or molecular biological level.
Investigative strategies often include examining responses
to natural or experimental challenges, including human
diseases. The knowledge gained in this way both advances
the understanding of normal biology and leads to medically
useful interventions. The faculty of the MCSP graduate
program pursues this mission using techniques which
include those of molecular biology and immunology, and
range from gene manipulation to studies of the interactions
of different tissues and organ systems in whole animals,
including humans.
