Medical Physiology

About this course

Medical physiology is the study of how the human body functions: how its component ions, atoms, molecules, cells, and systems work together to maintain health, and how subtle changes in that functioning give rise to disease. It is a discipline that sits at the foundations of medicine, providing the mechanistic understanding of the body that allows clinicians to diagnose conditions, predict responses to treatment, and develop new therapeutic approaches. As medicine has become more molecular and more data-driven, the understanding of physiology at a cellular and systems level has become increasingly central to clinical practice and biomedical research. The three-year full-time Medical Physiology programme at the University of Leicester develops your understanding of how the body's components operate in normal physiology and how they malfunction in disease, providing the opportunity to und
