The department of Physiology provides an international working environment for about fifty employees to perform basic research, translational and clinical medicine, and enjoy teaching.
The department encompasses complementary research groups whose interests range from cardiovascular adaptations to inactivity, molecular regulation of ion transport processes in the kidney to the study of osmoregulation in the body.
Working collaboratively within the department, we use our expertise to investigate how molecules, cells, organisms and humans function and how we might modulate their physiology to ultimately improve health in the patient.
