Funding
The Department of Physiology & Biophysics has ranked in the top 10 (ranging from 4th to 10th) physiology departments in the country for total research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the past several years. These high rankings for NIH funding have occurred despite the considerably fewer faculty memebers in our department, compared to others ranked in the top 10.
