The Medical College of Georgia Department of Physiology’s focus is the framework of
the body's cells, organs and systems, how they work and how abnormal function leads
to disease.
The department is dedicated to outstanding research and excellence in education.
Our federally-funded scientists study some of the nation's top killers like cardiovascular
disease and hypertension, and train independent, creative, productive scholars and
PhD graduates, who publish in top tier journals and who are competitive for positions
wherever they choose to go.
The department offers programs leading to the PhD degree. A combined MD/PhD or DMD/PhD
degree program is available for students who obtain prior or concurrent admission
to the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) or the Dental College of Georgia.
In all programs, extensive experience in the philosophy and performance of basic and
biomedical research is stressed. By virtue of their interdisciplinary training, the
department's graduates compete successfully for positions in medical schools, universities,
government and industry.
The new IMMCG focuses on better understanding the immune system’s seemingly diametric roles in enabling good health and in contributing to major killers.
