The Department of Cell Biology and Physiology focuses on the microscopic research of human basic life activities, which is an important basic discipline supporting the development of clinical medicine and preventive medicine.

It mainly explores the morphological structure and metabolic activity rules of human functional cells, as well as the operation mechanism and mutual coordination relationship of various human body physiological functions. It analyzes the internal reasons for the imbalance of human physiological functions from the cellular level.
The relevant research results of the department can effectively support the research on the pathogenesis of various chronic diseases and sub-health conditioning theories, and provide solid basic theoretical support for the development of targeted medical conditioning schemes and clinical disease treatment methods.
