Department of Physiology

Our major mission is to understand how the physiology of our body works, from the molecular level to the integrated system of cells and the whole organism. We aim to ensure people live healthy lives. Our expert staff achieves this by offering high-quality, carefully designed courses to educate and train the next generation. They also engage in advanced research using the latest tools. Additionally, our dedicated physiologists work to uncover how the body functions in both health and disease, seeking new ways to prevent and treat illnesses. The department's faculty members actively participate in the educational programs of the colleges of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, applied medical sciences, and nursing. Additionally, the department offers an integrated program for medical and postgraduate students, facilitating their pursuit of master's and doctoral degrees. Faculty members conduct medical research in various fields of physiology, including the nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, respiratory system, reproductive system, endocrine glands, blood physiology, and more. The department also collaborates directly and effectively in clinical research with various partners.
