Biophysics

Biophysics is a unique field that combines the techniques of physics to explore the mysteries of biological systems.

It spans an extensive range, covering everything from the structure and behavior of molecules in living organisms to the way populations of organisms interact.

Key focus areas include understanding the physical aspects of cells, the mechanics of biological systems, and the physical principles underlying the nervous system and brain functions.

In addition to practical laboratory methods like X-ray crystallography, biophysics heavily relies on computational modeling to simulate biological systems and interpret experimental data. This interdisciplinary approach not only enriches our understanding of life at various scales but also has practical applications in areas like medical imaging, drug design and the development of new materials inspired by biological structures.
