生理与生物物理学博士

生理学和生物物理学系提供的研究课程可授予哲学博士学位。我们教职员工的广泛兴趣提供了从系统生理学到转化癌症研究和单分子生物物理学等多种研究机会。我们的目标是指导学生使用定量方法研究与人类健康和疾病相关的复杂生理问题。该系的主要研究领域是1）离子通道和间隙连接生物物理学，重点是心脏病学和视觉； 2）癌症和神经生物学中的细胞内和细胞间信号传导机制； 3）。在细胞，器官和完整动物水平上的生理学，重点是疾病的转基因模型，4）荧光显微镜，在石溪大学使用最大浓度的显微镜设备进行。我们的课程以人类生理学为基础，并在统计方
The Department of Physiology and Biophysics offers a program of study leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The broad interests of our faculty provide diverse research opportunities ranging from systems physiology, to translational cancer research and single molecule biophysics. Our goal is to instruct students in the use of quantitative methods to study complex physiological problems of relevance to human health and disease. The Department's principal areas of research specialization are 1) Ion channel and gap junction Biophysics, with emphasis on cardiology and vision, 2) Intracellular and intercellular signaling mechanisms in cancer and neurobiology, 3). Physiology at the cellular, organ, and intact animal levels with emphasis on transgenic models of disease, 4) Fluorescence microscopy with the largest concentrations of microscopy equipment at Stony Brook University. Our curriculum is based on a foundation in Human Physiology with additional advanced courses in Statistical Methods, Biochemistry and the physical chemistry of Biomembranes. Through elective coursework in Applied Mathematics, Genetics, Neurobiology or Journalism students can tailor their training to their career goals. Students from our program have gone on to careers in academic and industrial research, government service and law.
