Introduction
Functionally defined discipline that studies regulatory functions of organs in response and adaptation of specific systems of the organism to changes in external and internal environment in normal and pathological states. There is the dominance of transition from studies of indirect manifestations of certain functions to studies of their own functional and regulatory mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level in order to use the acquired knowledge for the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of human diseases.
The study program is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Physiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

Career Opportunities
The Doctoral (Ph.D.) study program in Human Physiology and Pathophysiology provides an introduction into the methodology of scientific work with a special interest in the characterization of function and regulatory mechanisms of the human body in healthy and diseased organisms. The study of molecular mechanisms predominates with the aim to use theoretical findings in the prevention, therapy, diagnostics, and rehabilitation of human diseases and disorders. Standard and international alignment is confirmed by the state examination in the field of specialization and the defense of thesis which reflects the graduate's knowledge in his specialization, level of mastering modern methodology, and his invention in the solution of scientific problems. Program is linked to many fields of clinical medicine. The standard length of study is four (4) years.
