The Department of Physiology is located in the Health Sciences Center of the University of Louisville, which provides an active and intellectually stimulating environment and a wide variety of course options. The graduate program permits studies in related disciplines, such as anatomy, neurobiology, pharmacology, toxicology, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology.
The doctoral program of the Department of Physiology is offered through the School of Medicine at the University of Louisville. As such, one major goal of the Department is to provide students with advanced training, which leads to the PhD degree in Physiology. The research interests of the Department are broad enough to provide each student with a wide selection of possible research and graduate education opportunities. Our doctoral graduate program is designed primarily to prepare students for an independent research career in basic and applied physiology.
