Who We Are

Physiology is the bedrock of mechanistic science, essential to translating pre-clinical discoveries into precision therapeutics. The research programs in the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Department of Physiology focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms with a strong emphasis on integrative membrane physiology.

Our Research

Our faculty members run multi-level genes-to-molecules-to-cells-to-systems pre-translational and translational research programs, many involving intra-departmental teams.

The Physiology faculty is thus a highly cohesive and collaborative unit that finds a unified purpose in the notion that mechanistic studies of membrane biology can provide unique insights into the physiology, development, and pathophysiology of cardiovascular, renal, neural, and neuromuscular systems.
