Molecular Physiology & Translational Medicine

The Molecular Physiology and Translational Medicine (MPTM) program is supported by faculty from multiple departments and research centers at Thomas Jefferson University, including Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Emergency Medicine, The Cardeza Foundation for Hematologic Research, and the Center for Translational Medicine. The research foci of our faculty cover a broad range of cell, tissue, and organ physiology. With a concentration in heart, lung and blood physiology, our research programs include many collaborative projects within and across Centers and Departments, providing a multidisciplinary research environment to train students in the MPTM program as the next generation of leaders in high-impact research in human health and disease.
