57 PhD programmes in Physiology in North America

The doctoral program in Biomedical Sciences: Integrative Physiology at Washington State University is a very flexible program ideally suited for those students interested in pursuing doctoral level graduate work with a faculty member in IPN but not interested in the Neuroscience program. 

The Kinesiology and Applied Physiology interdisciplinary programme at Rutgers University  focuses on physiological research that has shaped current understanding of how exercise, alone and in combination with other health behaviors, influences short- and long-term human health.

The Physiology and Pharmacology discipline at The University of Texas at San Antonio encompasses the study of fundamental mechanisms that underlie cellular and systems level function and dysfunction.

The Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology at the University of Kansas prepares individuals for faculty, instructor, and research positions at the university level. 

The PhD Program in Molecular Physiology and Translational Medicine (MPTM) at Thomas Jefferson University employs a multidisciplinary approach to train students in the rigors of experimental biomedical sciences and to prepare them for independent research careers, with major foci in blood, cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology.

Graduate degrees are awarded by the Graduate College. Instruction is offered through the Department of Health and Human Physiology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at The University of Iowa. 

The Graduate Program of the Department of Physiology at University of Kentucky is a Ph.D. program.

The Molecular Physiology and Biophysics program offered by The University of Vermont garners international recognition and success in the areas of cardiovascular research, cell division, and protein structure and function.

The doctoral program is firmly based in research and prepares students for academic careers in exercise physiology. Graduate students in this Exercise Physiology program at University of Miami, have numerous applied physiological research opportunities in the program’s well-equipped laboratories of clinical and applied physiology, neuromuscular research and active aging.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Physiology offered by the Department of Physiology in the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences at McGill University is a research-intensive program that emphasizes cutting-edge and stimulating learning opportunities. 

The Biological Sciences - Integrative Physiology and Neurobiology degree from Kent State University is the study of a broad range of topics, including endocrinology, neuroscience, immunology, reproductive biology and other regulatory systems. 

The Graduate Program in Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Miami is an interdepartmental Ph.D. program that trains highly qualified students for successful careers in research, teaching and industry. 

The Ph.D. in Molecular Pathology of Human Disease at Wayne State University is a challenging, diversified research-intensive graduate program, with a emphasis on molecular mechanisms of cancer and metabolic disease.

Research in Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology (APP) at University of Saskatchewan spans the breadth of biomedically-relevant subjects, from molecular genetics to cellular neuroscience to microanatomical imaging and beyond.

The Physiology of Reproduction graduate program at Texas A&M University includes graduate courses designed to challenge students with state of the art information in the areas of animal reproduction, growth, stress and lactation.

Cellular Physiology and Molecular Biophysics study how the human organism functions by applying principles of physics to the underlying molecules and cells. This program is offered at the University of Miami.

The Integrative Physiology and Pharmacology programme offered by Wake Forest University investigates disease mechanisms and therapeutic responses by integrating molecular, cellular, organ-level, behavioural, and clinical approaches in physiology and pharmacology research.
