Biologically inspired physics is an extraordinarily wide field, covering the behaviour of systems from single-molecule machines to organisms, ecosystems and evolution.
We use the tools of physics to address biological problems and we use biology to create new tools of physics.
Established in 2007, the Molecular Biophysics Suite (MBS) is a facility within the Department of Biochemistry and we are dedicated to the analysis of proteins and their complexes.
Understanding how biological systems work at the molecular level more often than not requires structural information on the proteins involved.
The Oxford Biological Physics Group is located in the Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford and is part of the Sub-Department of Condensed Matter Physics in Oxford Physics.
Our research uses a range of biophysical techniques, in particular single-molecule methods, to study molecular machines, rotary motors, ion channels and other membrane proteins.
