New Master of Science Degree Program

The overall goals of the new Master of Science degree program in Physiology and Biophysics are to prepare students for a research staff scientist career in industry (without a focus on R & D), a teaching career at the undergraduate college level, or further graduate study leading to the Ph.D degree in the Biomedical Sciences.  For students interested in attending medical school, the M.S. degree program can complement and enhance your background in the physiological sciences, including biomedical research.  To accomplish these goals, the program of study provides training in cellular and systems-level physiology, membrane biophysics, experimental design, data analysis, and commonly used laboratory techniques in integrative physiology.  Elective courses in Physiology and Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Pharmacological Sciences are then selected to complement and expand on the above core training, and meet the individual needs of each student.  For more information, please contact Dr.Solomon at irene.solomon@stonybrook.edu.
