Translational physiology provides a framework for emphasizing the real-world relevance of research, bridging experimental findings with clinical outcomes. The Translational Physiology Interest Group (TPIG) is an APS community committed to advancing the application of basic physiological science to human health and disease. Since 2010, TPIG has united scientists from many APS sections to foster collaboration and now stands as the largest of APS’s eight interest groups, with nearly 1,500 affiliated members.

Each year, the group sponsors a symposium at the American Physiology Summit featuring topics and abstracts that exemplify translational significance. All APS members are welcome to join TPIG and become part of a scientific community shaping an essential part of the future of physiology. Submit your research to TPIG conference sessions and help show physiology’s role in solving real-life challenges.

"APS has shaped my career from the start—receiving my first award as a graduate student at an APS meeting solidified my commitment to physiology. Since then, I’ve remained actively involved through leadership roles and engagement with various APS groups. I encourage you to join this vibrant community!"
