The Biochemistry, Biophysics, & Structural Biology (BBSB) program brings together scientists who aim to understand biological systems ranging from single molecules to whole organisms at the level of chemical transformations and molecular interactions..
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..

UCF’s Physics Department became a Bridge Site in 2015 with a goal to recruit, mentor and prepare under-represented minority (URM) students for admission to a Physics PhD program of their choice.
UCF is the second-largest university in the USA and is located in the 2.3 million-strong metropolitan area of Orlando, Florida.
Biochemistry combines faculty members from the Department of Biology, Department of Biophysics, Department of Chemistry, and the Department of Molecular Biology & Genetics.
Modern biophysical and biochemical research involves applying quantitative analysis and instrumentation to complex problems in biology.
