The University of California San Francisco offers a doctoral program in biophysics. It is administered by an inter-departmental group of approximately 50 faculty members from many basic and applied science departments, particularly the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. The graduate program in physiology and biophysics is designed to prepare students for research and teaching careers in physiology or related fields. The graduate program reflects the fact that becoming an effective member of today's scientific community requires an integrated knowledge of physiological systems at several levels oforganization. The aim of our graduate program is to train doctoral students for research careers in physiology and biophysics.
