46 PhD programmes in Physiology in United States

The Cellular and Molecular Physiology graduate program at Johns Hopkins University develops agile, independent scientists who identify important scientific gaps, establish creative, mechanistic hypotheses, and execute experimental strategies that are comprehensive, cutting edge, and push their field forward. 

An interdisciplinary approach employing advanced methods of molecular biology and structural biophysics is the hallmark of modern scientific research, whether fundamental, clinical or translational. We offer a Physiology degree at the University of Virginia. 

Students in the Health and Exercise Science - Exercise Physiology program in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at the University of Oklahoma have the opportunity to investigate a number of different physiological systems. 

Research in the Toxicology, Physiology and Molecular Mechanisms (TPMM) track at Johns Hopkins University is focused on discovering novel molecular mechanisms that drive the pathophysiology of major chronic diseases, with the goal of developing prevention and therapeutic strategies to improve public health. 

Pathobiology, Pharmacology and Physiology is one of eight interdisciplinary PhD themes within Graduate Biomedical Sciences at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. Students select a theme upon application but have access to faculty and courses from across GBS, allowing for flexibility in both research and academics.

The mission of the Applied Physiology Ph.D. program at the University of Delaware is to provide advanced training to students in the field of applied physiology with the goal of preparing students for research-based careers.

At the West Virginia University we offer our graduate students a phd degree in Cellular and Integrative Physiology. 

The Physiology and Integrative Biology course at Rutgers University offers both PhD and MS degrees with participation of research laboratories from the School of Graduate Studies, this programme is designed to provide training at the interface of genomics, cell biology and organismal physiology.

The Medical Sciences program of the Indiana University Bloomington offers work leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physiology.

The Cellular and Molecular Physiology and Biophysics Program provides a stimulating and supportive environment enabling graduate students to acquire fundamental training in physiology, cellular and molecular biology, and biophysics while participating in the rich intellectual life of Columbia University.

At University of Houston, the Graduate Program in Physiological Optics/Vision Science confers an M.S. and/or Ph.D. degree and prepares students to embark on a career in teaching and/or research in the basic or clinical science of vision.

A central goal of physiology in the post-genomic era is to understand how thousands of encoded proteins serve to bring about the highly coordinated behavior of cells and tissues. This Molecular and Cellular Physiology program is offered at Stanford University.

Cell Biology research at Penn has contributed to numerous medical advances in recent years, including those related to diabetes, blindness, muscular dystrophy and cancer. This Cell and Molecular Biology - Cell Biology, Physiology and Metabolism program is offered at the University of Pennsylvania.

The Cell Biology and Physiology Curriculum at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill encompasses the fields of cell biology, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal and respiratory physiology, neurobiology, cellular signal transduction, endocrinology, and cancer. 

The goal of the Exercise Physiology program offered by University of Missouri - Columbia is to develop new knowledge in the areas of exercise training, and cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations. 

This Applied Physiology and Nutrition program at University of Memphis is an interdisciplinary, research-intensive program that provides training in basic and translational science.

The Physiology program from Kansas State University offers opportunities for studies leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree.

The Department of Anatomy and Physiology at Kansas State University offers opportunities for graduate studies leading to both M. S. (Veterinary Biomedical Science) and Ph.D. degrees. Cell and systemic physiology,  immunophysiology, neuroscience, and pharmacology are the major themes of research of the department.

The Pharmacology and Physiology program of Drexel University offers graduate courses leading to the MS and the PhD.

Research in the Applied Physiology program at Georgia Institute of Technology is organized around the physiology of movement: motor planning and control, the mechanics of movement, and the physiological responses to activity.
