PhD / MPhil / MD Cellular and Molecular Physiology

We have a long and prestigious history and are a leading international centre for research into the fundamental principles of human physiology. We're developing collaborative ways to address important physiological questions, providing vital translational links to clinicians at the bedside.

Research in this program includes study of molecular structure and function, molecular interactions and cell signalling through to complex cellular phenotypes and communications that underlie the integrated functions of the tissues and organ systems comprising higher living organisms. Research extends from molecular, biophysical and computational methods to developmental and post-genomic physiologic strategies, with model organisms ranging from bacteria and yeast, to fruit-flies, worms, mouse and man.

We particularly welcome research proposals that match those of our researchers, including:
