The post-graduate  program in  Experimental Pathophysiology of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of São Paulo aims to attract medical and non-medical students with aspiration towards teaching and applied biological research, providing essential training for achievement of the goals of  modern Medical Biology, which should exclude activities of clinical nature.

The range of coverage of Experimental Pathophysiology is immense and this discipline can be defined in narrow terms, as the detailed description of organ dysfunction that causes diseases or is entailed by it. In this sense, our program aims to support the development of experimental models and to privilege inter-and transdisciplinary approaches to investigate pathophysiological aspects of diseases.

Ten research lines shelter dozens of projects: four lines are transversal instruments of investigation (i.e.: "Application of techniques of cellular and molecular biology in the investigation of the pathogenesis and therapy of some human diseases", "Research strategies for educational advancement of health professionals", "Pathophysiology of changes caused by environmental pollution” and "Mathematics applied to biological problems"); the other six research lines circumscribe vertical themes that of pathophysiology of diseases according to the different systems of the human body.
