About Biophysics

What is biophysics?

Biophysics is a scientific field that employs the principles of physics to examine biological systems. It seeks to comprehend the functioning of biological elements, ranging from tiny molecules and cells to entire organisms and ecosystems. Biophysicists utilize quantitative and experimental methods to explore the physical attributes of biological molecules, their interactions, and the fundamental processes driving biological phenomena.

Some key areas of biophysics include: molecular biophysics, structural biology, biological thermodynamics, biomechanics, electrophysiology, quantitative physiology, neurophysics, etc.
