Chemical Physiology (CP)
Scientific Scope
The Chemical Physiology (CP) Hub trains students to think critically and independently, and teaches them how to design and conduct independent research, developing and using small molecules or drugs to study physiological process from cells to organisms. Our students will gain the knowledge, skills, and personal qualities to undertake careers as independent scientists, dedicated teachers and imaginative leaders and scholars in academia, government and industry.
