The Integrative Physiology & Molecular Medicine (IPMM) doctoral program provides diverse research and learning experiences that emphasize cellular and molecular processes underscoring coordinated integration of organ systems within the body, typically with a view to unraveling disease mechanisms. The interdisciplinary environment of the IPMM doctoral program, involving both basic scientists and clinician scientists, facilitates the acquisition of modern experimental techniques and development of the intellectual tools required for their effective implementation in the study of current problems in health and disease. Students in the IPMM typically pursue research projects that combine sophisticated approaches for study of cellular & molecular function with powerful integrative physiological techniques.
