Physiology
is the study of how living systems function, from the subcellular
to the ecological level. The research interests of our physiology
group span this entire range. Specifically, we have research foci
in four areas: (1) cell membrane physiology with an emphasis on
ion transport mechanisms, regulation and functions, (2) ecological
physiology of animals and plants, (3) stress physiology of animals
and plants and (4) photosynthetic physiology.
Research
by SU Biology labs spans the range from model cell or subcellular
systems to field studies with wild species. Our research involves
both experimental and modeling approaches. An exciting aspect of
physiology research is it multidisciplinary nature. It integrates
techniques and approaches from molecular biology, biochemistry,
physics, ecology and evolution.
In
addition to SU Biology faculty, there are physiologists at the adjacent
SUNY campuses (SUNY-Upstate
Medical University and SUNY-Environmental
Science and Forestry) with whom to interact.
