Physiology

The Department of Physiology, headed by Dr. Neeta Mehta, has been running its M.D. Physiology programme since 1974 and currently offers 10 NMC-recognised postgraduate seats annually. Alongside undergraduate teaching for MBBS and allied health students, the department supports a strong research and clinical-investigation profile.

In addition to the undergraduate laboratories, the department operates three specialised laboratories — an Electrophysiology laboratory (offering EMG, Nerve Conduction Velocity, Visual Evoked Potential and Audiometry studies), a Sleep and EEG laboratory, and a Cardiopulmonary laboratory (ECG, Pulmonary Function Testing and Treadmill testing). These services support both patient diagnostics and student-led research projects.

The department has hosted three editions of the International Conference on Basic and Applied Physiology (ICONBAP) — in 2012, 2018 and 2023 — and conducts CMEs and workshops on a regular basis. Faculty members guide undergraduate and postgraduate students in research, including ICMR Short-Term Studentship projects, and contribute substantially to the International Journal of Basic & Applied Physiology (IJBAP). Dr. Jasmin Diwan serves as Associate Editor, Dr. Saurin Sanghavi and Dr. Paresh Prajapati as Assistant Editors, Dr. Neeta C. Mehta and Dr. Anjubala S. Mehta on the Editorial Board, and Dr. Jagdeepkaur Dani and Dr. Geeta B. Nair as Editorial Advisors.

Through its combination of structured teaching, specialised laboratory services and an active research culture, the Department of Physiology equips students with a strong functional understanding of the human body while contributing to academic publishing and continuing medical education.
