Research Laboratories

Most areas of Physiology are studied  in the Department's research facilities, with an emphasis on animal and human Physiology. Technical specialties include electrophysiology, molecular biology, microscopy (electron, confocal, ion imaging, neural tracing), cell and tissue culture, human audiometry, and the study of vision. There are interest groups concerned with the cardiovascular system (and especially hypertension), the autonomic nervous system, vision, cell physiology, epithelial transport, muscle contraction, synaptic transmission. Developmental processes are under investigation in most systems. Much more information is available on the projects underway in each of the 13 research laboratories:
