Molecular and Cellular Biophysics 2012-2013
Course Descriptions
BIOP 4100 Foundations in Biophysics
Focus of the course is on application of basic physics principles to the study of cells and macromolecules. Topics include diffusion, random processes, thermodynamics, reaction equilibria and kinetics, computer modeling. Must be admitted to the MCB PhD program or related graduate program with instructor approval.
BIOP 4150 Cellular Biophysics
Biophysical approaches to understanding cell function. We emphasize the various experimental approaches that biophysicists use to study basic cellular processes, including a variety of fluorescence images, optical and electrophysiological techniques.
