The Anatomy & Neurobiology (A&N) Concentration is located on the SIU campus in Carbondale . Our faculty investigate a broad variety of research areas, offering opportunities for advanced training in human anatomy, histology, cell biology, neuroscience and neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology, including neurophysiology of behavior. A MS or PhD degree from the A&N Concentration prepares students for careers in education, academic or health industry research, or for further education in a health professional program.

Researchers in the MBBS Molecular & Integrative Physiology Concentration strive to improve understanding of the function of molecules, cells, tissues and organisms with an emphasis on their relation to human biology and medicine. Students will use sophisticated cell, molecular and integrative approaches to address research problems in mammalian physiology, vascular physiology, cell physiology, molecular biology, molecular endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, behavioral neuroscience, molecular neuroscience, molecular physiology in sensory organs, reproductive biology, reproductive endocrinology
