The Graduate Program (PPG) in Physiology at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP), University of São Paulo (USP) was founded in 1970 and completed 50 years in 2020. The program was an initiative of a group of professors from the Department of Physiology, and became pioneering in the development of Physiology in Brazil with the arrival of Prof. Dr. Miguel R. Covian from Buenos Aires (Argentina), in 1955.

The primary purpose of our PPG has been to provide a solid theoretical foundation and bench-top research experience for individuals aiming at a scientific career. For this reason, our faculty maintains outstanding performance in the investigation of physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms in the areas of Cardiovascular Physiology, Endocrine and Metabolism, Renal, Neurophysiology, Respiratory, Synaptic Physiology and Biophysics, and Digestive.

The Program evolved qualitatively and quantitatively, and, in December 2020, it was composed of 15 permanent advisors, 16 Master’s students, and 23 Doctoral students. Twelve Post-Doctoral students who, together with professors, graduate students, and scientific initiation students, actively participate in graduate teaching and research activities in different areas of Physiology.
