UCSD Biological Physics
Research in the Physics of Life seeks to unravel the physical principles underlying organization and functions in living systems. At UCSD Biophysics, we are at the forefront of this rapidly advancing discipline. Consistent with broad yet fundamental training, we use experimental, theoretical, and computational techniques to solve problems at the interface of physics and biology. We have a strong and diverse group of faculty, covering a wide range of biophysics research, including all major themes identified by the National Academies' first ever decadel survey on biological physics.
