The goal of physiology is to explain the physical and chemical factors that are responsible for the origin, development and progression of life. Basic research in physiology explores normal cell, organ, and whole body function. The major tasks of the Division of Physiology at Innsbruck Medical University are the teaching of human physiology and pathophysiology, the advancement of the knowledge base of these subjects by research of basic physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms, and the training of graduate students in bio-medical sciences.

Physiologie ist die Lehre der Lebensvorgänge, die Physiologie lehrt und erforscht die normalen Organ- und Körperfunktionen. Die Aufgaben der Sektion für Physiologie der Medizinischen Universität Innsbruck umfassen die Lehre der Physiologie und Pathophysiologie des Menschens, die Weiterentwicklung des Wissensstandes durch die Erforschung grundlegender physiologischer wie auch pathophysiologischer Mechanismen, sowie die Ausbildung der Fachärzte und des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses auf dem Gebiet der biomedizinischen Forschung.
