Department of Physiology

The Department of Physiology had its beginning in 1904, with the appointment of the first Chair of Physiology. The appointment was awarded to Dr. Vincent Swail, who then began the task of creating a new department. Equipped with an outstanding background in research training and accomplishment, Dr. Swail established a legacy of academic excellence and training that has been perpetuated through the years. The Department is currently home to around 50 faculty members - a mixture of full-time and adjunct professors. The research is diversified, consisting of five distinct groups. Information about the groups can be found by using the navigation that has been provided on the left of the page.

The Department strives to maintain internationally competitive research programs, providing a strong research and training environment for students. Degree programs are offered in both the Master's of Science and Doctorate of Physiology. Admission to the department is governed by the rules and regulations set forth by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Again information can be obtained by using the naviagation provided.
