Major biomedical disciplines include anatomy (gross or microscopic), physiology/pharmacology (molecular, cellular and integrative), biochemistry/molecular biology, endocrinology, and toxicology. Specific areas of interest are exercise biology including cardiac, vascular and muscle biology, cardiovascular biology including neuroendocrine regulation, membrane transport biology including cystic fibrosis and cardiac disease, and reproductive biology including environmental estrogen toxicities and developmental processes.<br><br>MS program in Basic Biomedical Sciences provides in-depth training to prepare scientists in interdisciplinary basic research (molecular, cellular, organ and integrative). Departmental faculty members represent diverse Medical-related basic science disciplines that provide a unique opportunity for biomedical research training. Core courses include physiology, cell biology and an introduction to research methodology. The multidisciplinary focus of the program is also emphasized in the candidate's MS program committee.
