Biophysics uses principles from physics and chemistry, along with mathematical analysis and computer modeling, to study life at the molecular and cellular levels.
At the University of Michigan, Biophysics brings together researchers who apply ideas, concepts, and techniques from the physical sciences to questions in molecular and cell biology.
Biophysics is a natural meeting ground for researchers who work across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Our faculty conduct research in a wide range of areas, including structural biology, single molecule biophysics, spectroscopy and microscopy, computational biophysics, membrane biophysics, and neurobiophysics.
