Mission of the department of Physiology
The department of Physiology was newly formed in July 2003 and
is a vibrant, growing department that pursues and promotes
knowledge of how the human body functions through an understanding
of biomolecules, cells, organs, and organisms. In the coming years
the integration of the previously obtained knowledge will be
central and formulated as Physiomics to the
next level.
Mission statement
- The department is committed to excellent and inspiring teaching
of Physiology courses in the bachelor, master, Ph.D. and post-doc
programs of the Radboud University Medical Center.
- The department is committed to basic and clinically relevant
research of the highest achievable level that ranges from molecules
to humans with the aim to unravel (patho)physiological mechanisms
to ultimately improve the quality of life for human beings of all
ages.
Achieving the mission
To achieve this mission the following central goals have been
set:
- The department provides an international working environment
that encourages focus, efficiency, innovation and ambition. Team
spirit, working pleasure and personal education of employees are
instrumental to achieve these goals.
- The department has three research groups, i.e. Integrative
Physiology, Ion Transport and Osmoregulation, which are mutually
complementary and blossom in unity.
