生物医学科学哲学博士-神经科学和生理学

神经科学和生理学的重点领域涉及使用分子，细胞，生理和行为方法研究细胞，器官和整个动物的功能。就像国际科学界一样，赖特州立大学也在加强神经科学方面的研究和培训。我们的研究与神经退行性变，突触的活动依赖性，可塑性和脊髓发育等领域的进展具有重要的联系。神经科学研究所进一步加强了校园神经科学的科学环境，该研究所组织研究和培训资源并赞助学术活动。在生理学方面，我们在研究包括血细胞，骨骼肌和心肌细胞以及上皮细胞在内的多种细胞类型中的功能方面具有强大的实力。这些研究的共同主题是关注细胞膜上交换离子，营养物和水的机制。复
This interdisciplinary program leads to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in biomedical sciences. It recognizes the interrelatedness of the various traditional disciplines and seeks to educate scientists who are qualified to develop this potential. Classroom and laboratory instruction stresses experiences that span a broad spectrum of knowledge. The program provides an integrated background in biological, physical, chemical, and computational disciplines in addition to in-depth training in a specific area of biomedical research. Graduates are expected to be sufficiently flexible to participate in solving a broad range of complex biomedical problems. The primary aim of the program is to prepare students for a research career. In-depth study is possible in a number of areas.<br><br>This Area of Concentration comprises two areas of research strengths that are grouped to take advantage of an innovative synergy. Research and training in neurobiology is intensifying at Wright State University, just as it is in the international scientific community. Laboratories are actively investigating wide-ranging topics in cellular (e.g., synaptic and circuit formation and function) and behavioral neurobiology (e.g., stress endocrinology), using cutting-edge technology from molecular biology, imaging, and electrophysiology. Studies have important relevance to advances in neurodegeneration, activity dependence of synapses, plasticity and development of spinal cord, etc. The scientific environment for neurobiology on campus is further strengthened by the Wright State University and Premier Health Partners Neuroscience Institute, which organizes research and training resources and sponsors scholarly events. Physiology is synonymous with function, and at Wright State University, there is formidable strength in studying function in a wide variety of cell types, including blood cells, muscle cells, and epithelial cells. A common theme in these studies is a focus on mechanisms in the cell membrane that exchanges ions, nutrients, and water. Sophisticated cell and molecular technologies are applied in studies that have important consequences for understanding illnesses such as Cystic Fibrosis, bowel disease, and myopathy. An immediate synergy occurs between neurobiology and physiology as a result of the fact that ion channels and transporters are fundamental to the function of all cell types, and play a fundamental role in the excitability of neurons.
