PHY 3510U – Biophysics
This course serves as an introduction to the field of biophysics, which is broadly defined as applying physical laws and methodologies to biological systems. Incorporating data and results from nano-science experimental techniques, computer simulations, and analytic techniques, several biophysics research areas will be covered. Emerging nanotechnologies related to each system will be discussed. Possible topics include: the importance of diffusion in biological processes (stochastic dynamics); structure, function and dynamics of biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins; transport across biological membranes; self-assembly of biological material; organization and dynamics within the cell; and active matter such as bacterial colonies.
