Our research shapes how society approaches health and wellness.
Research is essential to our mission in the Department of Health and Human Physiology.
Our faculty are regularly recognized with university, collegiate, and disciplinary honors for the impact of their innovative research on their fields. They publish widely, and receive significant federal grant funding, in addition to generous support from private donors. They serve their disciplinary organizations as journal editors, board members, and administrators.
Most importantly, they mentor our students at all levels, teaching them the career-building research skills and methods that will advance human knowledge in the generations to come. Faculty members welcome student inquiries about joining their labs as researchers.
