    About

    The PhD Program in Molecular Physiology and Translational Medicine (MPTM) employs a multidisciplinary approach to train students in the rigors of experimental biomedical sciences and to prepare them for independent research careers, with major foci in blood, cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology. With these foci, our program is designed to train the next generation of scientific leaders in research reflecting the most pressing clinical problems worldwide.

    The PhD Program in Molecular Physiology and Translational Medicine trains students in holistic approaches to biomedical research, preparing students for careers across the spectrum of the cutting-edge world of biomedical and translational research. Our research programs merge mechanistic studies in cell and molecular biology with cell, tissue, organ, and system physiology and pathophysiology. The main themes of the program are in blood, cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, and many of the faculty are drawn from the Cardeza Foundation – Division of Hematology, and the Center for Translational Medicine, of the Department of Medicine at Sidney Kimmel Medical College. However, the program includes faculty from across many academic departments, divisions and research centers across Jefferson, whose research interests encompass a broad array of basic and translational topics and model systems including cellular and molecular physiology, and normal and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular, pulmonary and gastrointestinal systems.  

    Applicants with an interest in neurophysiology should refer to our PhD program in Neuroscience.

    Entry Requirements

    International applicants may be required to submit results from an English Language Proficiency Exam. Additional information about the English Language Proficiency requirement can be found on the Admissions Information page for your program of interest.

    Students who have taken coursework outside of the United States should submit a course-by-course academic credential evaluation from a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member credentialing organization. Applicants who do not have a NACES evaluation are required to submit official transcripts, along with an official English translation, to Jefferson for review. Thomas Jefferson University reserves the right to outsource student academic credentials to our NACES member partner for evaluation.
