Department of Physiology

Department of Physiology forms the foundation of basic Medical Sciences. It is an integral part of the Faculty of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, IUB since 2006. The dynamic and foreign qualified faculty of the department is actively involved in teaching various subjects of Medical Physiology to the under-graduate students of DVM, BS Physiology, BS BBT and the students of M.Phil. Furthermore, Department of Physiology is also conducting substantial research work in collaboration with other departments of the IUB, as well as of other universities. At the moment, it is offering an under-graduate 04-year BS Physiology program and MPhil in Physiology. However, in near future, we plan to broaden our horizon through initiating Doctoral Program in Physiology.
The students at the Physiology Department are given an in-depth understanding of the 'secrets of life' through interesting and applied aspects of Medical Physiology, Animal Physiology, Hematology, Endocrinology, Electrophysiology, Molecular Physiology, Exercise Physiology, Physiology of Digestion and Metabolism, Physiology of Respiratory and Cardiovascular System, Comparative Endocrinology & Neuromuscular Physiology, Camel Physiology, Physiology of Lactation, Advanced Avian Physiology, Physiological Biochemistry and many other. Hands-on practical training is also provided in various physiological/clinical lab techniques such as Hematology, Electrophysiology, Spectrophotometry, Oxidative Stress and Antioxidants Level, Flame Photometry, Respiratory Volume and Capacities, Liver Function Test, Renal Function Test and Hormonal Analysis etc. Ultimate goal is to equip the students with strong concepts of pathophysiology of a disease, its diagnosis and management. Conceptual methodology of teaching with the help of modern teaching tools, problem-based learning and national/international collaborations of the department groom the future physiologists for multiple careers in medical field.
