Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology • mcb.illinois.edu/departments/mip GREETINGS FROM THE HEAD Milan Bagchi Welcome to the 2015 edition of the MIP newsletter. As you turn its pages, you will come across an article that describes the early history of our department. You will be impressed that physiology has a long and rich tradition at the University of Illinois. The University opened its doors in 1867 and physiology was taught as a subject starting in 1871. A long line of dedicated faculty members continued to carry the flag of physiology until the department was formally established in 1949 with R.E. Johnson as Head. In 1959, the department moved to its current location in Burrill Hall. For the past 66 years, the department has continued to thrive as one of the oldest and most prestigious physiology departments in the nation recognized for its cutting edge research in comparative physiology, cardiovascular physiology, biophysics, neuroscience, endocrinology, reproductive biology, and metabolic health.
