Biological physics uses the tools and techniques of physics to understand the inner workings of the machinery found in living organisms on length scales ranging from the molecular to the macroscopic..
Biophysicists have developed sophisticated diagnostic imaging techniques including MRIs, CT scans, and PET scans.
Biophysics continues to be essential to the development of even safer, faster, and more precise technology to improve medical imaging and teach us more about the body's inner workings..
Biophysics has been critical to understanding the mechanics of how the molecules of life are made, how different parts of a cell move and function, and how complex systems in our bodies—the brain, circulation, immune system, and others— work..
Biophysics, as an integral discipline, deals with all kinds of information and technological developments concerning medicine.
Nowadays, biophysics is divided into four main branches which have no clear dividing boundaries: System Biophysics, Electrobiophysics, Molecular Biophysics and Radiation Biophysics..
Techniques.
Biophysical chemists employ various techniques used in physical chemistry to probe the structure of biological systems.
These techniques include spectroscopic methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and other techniques like X-ray diffraction and cryo-electron microscopy..
We will explore new technologies, such as atomic force and single molecule microscopy that have allowed research into these areas.
This course will address topics in each of the three major divisions of Biophysics: bio-molecular structure, biophysical techniques, and biological mechanisms..
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that applies approaches and methods traditionally used in physics to study biological phenomena.
Biophysics covers all scales of biological organization, from molecular to organismic and populations..
Medical Applications.
Biophysics has been essential to the development of many life-saving treatments and devices including kidney dialysis, radiation therapy, cardiac defibrillators, pacemakers, and artificial heart valves..

Biophysical methods are techniques to study the structure, properties, dynamics or function of biomolecules at an atomic or molecular level.
They encompass a range of techniques including microscopy, spectroscopy, electrophysiology, single-molecule methods and molecular modelling..
Biophysical methods such as mass spectrometry, surface plasmon resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, and both differential scanning isothermal titration calorimetry are now well established as key components of the early drug discovery process..
Biophysics is the field that applies the theories and methods of physics to understand how biological systems work..
Biochemistry and biophysics, closely-related fields, use tools from different sciences to study life.
Specifically, biochemistry studies the chemical processes and transformations in living organisms, while biophysics applies the theories and methods of physics to questions of biology..
Biophysical methods measure binding between two or more molecules, such as:
