Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology
Join us in pursuing answers to fundamental questions in physiology within a supportive and collaborative community.
Leaders Empowering Leaders
While we are proud to be one of the top NIH-funded physiology departments in the country, we are prouder of our scientists' impact on their fields. The U-M Medical School Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology pushes boundaries through ground-breaking research, education, and service. Our mission is to use scientific discovery to improve human health and advance knowledge of how our bodies work.
Our academic and training programs for undergraduate and graduate (PhD and MS) students and postdoctoral fellows are focused on developing future leaders in science and medicine through engaged mentorship and a strong focus on personalized career development.

Outreach Programs
Our department's science is vital for understanding organism health and disease, yielding knowledge and potential cures. Equally important is promoting community science through programs like SEEK (Science Education and Engagement for Kids), which arose from Physiology PhD students' visits to local schools. SEEK, featuring hands-on activities about bodily systems, has grown through word-of-mouth and now includes participants from various Michigan programs.
