Biophysics offers a graduate education program that focuses on the interface of biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, and mathematics and explores the physical laws governing the properties and interaction of biomolecules and cells. The faculty has diverse research interests, which include structural biology, membrane dynamics, ion transport, electron transfer, nuclei acid, applied optics, computational biology, theory, cellular regulation, and imaging.

While an M.S. degree may be obtained while pursuing a Ph.D. degree, only Ph.D. applications will be accepted.

This program is an interdisciplinary Graduate Group.
