生理学和生物物理学系提供的工作将导致获得理学硕士学位或哲学博士学位，并参加医学科学家培训计划。博士生可获得心血管科学和神经科学中的部门间浓度。该系面向哺乳动物生理学的研究。首先，学生沉浸在综合课程中，然后在所选的生理学领域完成专业培训：心血管生理和代谢，细胞骨架和血管生物学，胃肠道生理学，神经科学，生殖和内分泌科学，信号转导和基因调控，平稳和骨骼肌生理学。所有领域都集中在生理学的综合方面，研究整个生物的基因表达。
The Department of Physiology and Biophysics offers work leading to the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees, and participates in the Medical Scientist Training Program. Interdepartmental concentrations in Cardiovascular Science and in Neuroscience are available to doctoral students. The department is oriented toward the study of mammalian physiology. Students are initially immersed in an integrated curriculum and later they complete specialized training in an area of physiology of their choice: Cardiovascular Physiology and Metabolism, Cytoskeleton and Vascular Biology, Gastrointestinal Physiology, Neurosciences, Reproductive and Endocrine Sciences, Signal Transduction and Gene Regulation, Smooth and Skeletal Muscle Physiology. All areas focus on the integrative aspects of physiology, studying gene expression to the whole organism.
