The mission of the Applied Physiology Ph.D. Program in the University of Delaware's College of Health Sciences is to provide advanced training for students in the field of applied physiology with the goal of preparing students for research-based careers. Areas of in-depth study are driven by faculty research and encompass cardiovascular physiology, exercise physiology, musculoskeletal physiology, and neurophysiology. The programmatic emphasis is on the regulation, adaptation, and integration of mechanisms across all levels of biological organization from molecules to organ systems. New knowledge on health, aging, chronic disease, and injury prevention will be generated and disseminated. Along with in-depth, laboratory-based immersion, the mission of the proposed program is to provide high quality classroom-based instruction through a core graduate curriculum, electives, and seminars.

The University of Delaware's Physiology of Aging class brings world-renowned speakers in the field of aging into the classroom as UD students learn alongside their peers at Colorado State University (CSU) and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder). The class is led by Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology Christopher Martens, who worked with professors at CSU and CU Boulder, to help develop the class when he was a postdoctoral fellow there. Learn more about this innovative learning model that has advantages over strictly online or hybrid courses in this article on the CHS Blog. #UDIsThePlace #UDel #Aging #Physiology

Please join us in two weeks for the Evelyn R. Hayes Innovations in Healthcare Symposium focusing on understanding and addressing the epidemic of loneliness and isolation.

Great attendance at the College of Health Sciences Blue & Gold admissions event. Lots of interest in health-related majors and careers.

Kudos to doctoral student Nate Romberger and the team for publishing this interesting case study in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Please consider attending an important talk by Leonardo Trasande, MD, MPP, the Jim G. Hendrick, M.D. Professor of Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Professor, Department of Population Health at NYU. The talk is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Newly published research by University of Delaware Professor of Epidemiology Daniel Harris shows inequities in COVID19 testing access and variant impact. The cross-sectional study of free COVID tests conducted by Walgreens from May 2021 through February 2022 found that non-white individuals were more likely to test positive for COVID-19. The research, published in "Frontiers of Public Health" also found the omicron variant more prevalent in racial and ethnic minority groups during its emergence, especially in urban settings. #UDel #Epidemiology #COVID19 #COVIDtesting #HealthEquity #Disparities #Research #PublishHealth
