| The Ph.D. program in Physiology and Functional Genomics provides training in molecular, cellular, and whole-organism physiology in combination with functional genomic analysis. The program emphasizes the integration of physiological and genetic knowledge and its relationship in predisposition and development of disease. Emphasis is placed on interpretation of data obtained from subcellular systems to the normal and abnormal physiology of the whole organism, both in humans and model organisms such as rats or mice, and an understanding of underlying genetic principles. Genome-wide analysis in relationship to physiological and functional changes in the organism and the genetic analysis of complex disorders, both in humans and model organisms are of particular interest. Together with the Human and Molecular Genetics Center, the Cardiovascular Research Center, and the Bioinformatics Research Center, up-to-date laboratories contain the most advanced equipment and instrumentation for high-throughput genomic analysis (sequencers, robotics, genotyping facilities, Compaq and SUN computer clusters). | |
