Welcome to the Graduate Program
At the graduate level, the Professors' research interests range from studies of membrane receptors, transporters, channels, and signal transduction pathways to the broader integration of physiological systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, endocrine, immune and central nervous systems) using an array of molecular and cellular approaches as well as quantitative techniques in data collection, analysis, and mathematical modelling by computational means. https://www.mcgill.ca/physiology/directory/research-labs-affiliated-centres Advanced training at the Ph.D. level in aspects of quantitative & computational Physiology.
In addition to the full-time faculty, the Department includes approximately 50 graduate students and 20 postdoctoral fellows.
Applicants for the M.Sc. program must hold a B.Sc. degree or its equivalent.
