The physiology concentration addresses the intersection between basic pulmonary sciences and environmental exposures, often in the context of global public health. Faculty members in the concentration focus on three main problems: air pollution, lung infection, and asthma. The theme of pulmonary inflammation spans these foci, as does an interdisciplinary approach bridging biological and physical sciences. Areas of research include biomechanical properties of cells/tissue in normal/inflamed lungs; smooth muscle and airway constriction in asthma; mediators and adhesion molecules involved in pulmonary inflammation; effects of inhaled particles; lung infections; control of breathing in humans; sleep-related breathing disorders; respiratory sensations; and epithelial cell, macrophage, lymphocyte, and neutrophil lung biology. The biology is broadly based, ranging from molecular and cell biology to integrated organismic, environmental, and comparative physiology.
The physiology concentration combines a range of scientific disciplines, including physics, bioengineering, physiology, biomathematics, cell biology, molecular biology, proteomics and genomics, clinical science, and epidemiology. By working within this rich interdisciplinary environment, students learn many measurement technologies, discover a variety of disciplinary approaches, and develop mature scientific thinking.
