Members will develop and employ advanced research methods, using state-of-the-art tools to measure physicochemical phenomena in biological systems. Research areas of emphasis include structural biology, nano-scale engineering, molecular dynamics, macromolecular organization, and computational and theoretical biology. The program is designed to ensure students’ dialog with biophysics faculty members through seminars, specific courses and rotations.
