The program of the graduate Division of Molecular Biophysics and Physiology provides state-of-the-art training in the most quantitatively-oriented areas of modern physiology and biophysics. To this end, a limited number of students are invited to join particular research laboratories as pre-doctoral fellows, and most of the training occurs in this setting. The sole goal of the faculty is excellence in research, and it expects to develop a nucleus of students who will become future leaders in the field.
