Physiology and Experimental Medicine at The Hospital For Sick Children (Toronto, ON, Canada) is a multidisciplinary program that brings together significant interdisciplinary and interprofessional activity from different study areas such as: lung and cardiovascular physiology; imaging; metabolism and nutrition; pharmacology; and experimental medicine. The program is comprised of researchers, clinicians, and educators who focus on the study of complex, integrated bodily systems. Special emphasis is placed on investigations which bridge in vitro and in vivo approaches, basic science with clinical applications, experimental models with human disease, and human subject research.
