About our program.....

A Ph.D. student can choose a dissertation topic from a number of exciting areas of study including studies of: apoptosis, neuroendocrinology, spinal cord regeneration, new pain nerve fiber pathways, arthritis, environmental toxicology, reproductive biology, growth factors and their receptors, tumor cell biology, and cell signalling.

We have unique expertise in imaging and cell culture techniques, including stereology, immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, experimental MRI techniques, calcium flux imaging, and affinity cytochemistry. Some of our faculty are pioneers in the development and applications of these techniques.
