Welcome to Molecular and Integrative Physiology
Molecular and Integrative Physiology at Illinois has a long tradition of excellence in teaching and research. Many of our undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral research associates have used their experiences at Illinois to establish distinguished careers in academia, government, or the private sector.
I hope that you will take the time to explore our department by investigating our undergraduate and graduate programs so that you can learn about the intellectual opportunities now possible by break-throughs in this postgenomic era of biology. The future of physiology has changed, and we believe that our department is well-positioned to provide training for your future.
