Education
Integrative Biology Graduate Program, University of Texas southwestern Medical Center
The Integrative Biology Graduate Program fosters training in research
areas focused on understanding the molecular and cellular basis of
integrated biological systems. The Integrative Biology Graduate Program
(IBGP) promotes effective cross-disciplinary research involving
approximately sixty faculty members in basic science and clinical
departments with the goal of training students for careers as
independent investigators. Some areas of research interests in this
program include response and adaptation to physiological (exercise,
microgravity, and pregnancy), and pathological (hypertension
inflammatory and immune diseases, diabetes, sepsis, and cancer)
stresses. Specific areas of investigation address cell-cell signaling,
including the basis of fertilization, exocrine secretion, renal tubular
transport, gene regulation in development and differentiation,
regulation of cardiovascular function and metabolism, regulation of
muscle contraction and protein turnover, sensory regulation of
behavior, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and tumor biology.
