HPHY News and Seminars

The Department of Human Physiology regularly invites speakers in the field to share their research and expertise with the University of Oregon community.

Stay tuned for the Fall 2024 Seminar Schedule 


Professor Brad Wilkins featured in The Washington Post: Fastest, Highest, Strongest.

“It’s part of who we are as a species to push limits and to push beyond what we think we’re capable of doing,” University of Oregon physiology professor Brad Wilkins said. “It’s probably part of why our species survived as a species — because we were driven to go further and build things and do things our Neanderthal counterparts weren’t able to do. I do believe a human is limited. But humans are not.”

Professor Wilkins weighs in on several aspects of physical performance in eliete athletics in this July 26, 2024 article.
