Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Physiology By Research Mode at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) delves into advanced research in molecular, behavioral, nutritional, neuronal, and stress physiology. The program focuses on understanding the functions of organs and organ systems, morphological adaptations, and responses to environmental stimuli, emphasizing metabolism, regulatory mechanisms, as well as metabolomics, nutrigenomics, and lipidomics.

PhD candidates will investigate critical metabolic and biochemical pathways vital for bioenergetics and homeostatic regulation, exploring ligand-receptor interactions in the context of natural products research and the study of communicable and non-communicable diseases using animal models. Additionally, research at the cellular level encompasses cellular organization, biomembrane properties, communication, signal transduction, and the regulation of cell survival, apoptosis, and neoplasia. This program equips students with the expertise to make significant contributions to the field of animal physiology.
