Physiology & Experimental Medicine
Head: Dr. Martin Post
Physiology & Experimental Medicine (PEM) is a multidisciplinary program which brings together significant interdisciplinary and interprofessional activity from different areas of study such as: lung and cardiovascular physiology, imaging, metabolism and nutrition, pharmacology, and experimental medicine. The program is comprised of researchers, clinicians and educators that focus on the study of complex, integrated bodily systems. Special emphasis is placed on investigations which bridge in vitro with in vivo approaches, basic science with clinical applications, experimental models with human disease, and human subject research.
Through these novel approaches to research we are able to make advancements in understanding disease mechanisms and treatment at the cellular, systems and whole organism levels. This creates the link between research, clinical care and education, which is fundamental to improving the outcome of child health on a larger scale in a more efficient and effective manner.
PEM is host to the new Centre for the Study of Complex Childhood Diseases (CSCCD).
