Cracking the Code of Life
Physiologists at the University of Maryland
School of Medicine integrate molecular, cellular and systems biology to
discover how life works. Our department has especially strong traditions in
cardiovascular-renal biology, neuroscience and reproductive biology. Our
graduate students, post- doctoral fellows and faculty are working to unravel
the mysteries of brain development, muscle contraction, cellular communication,
hormone action, learning and memory, salt and water balance, and synaptic
transmission. In doing so, they are helping to uncover the causes and
mechanisms of human disease, including Alzheimer's, cancer, epilepsy, heart
failure, hypertension, infertility, muscular dystrophy and stroke. We invite
you to join us and make exploration and discovery your life's work.
