Biological physics applies physics' quantitative approaches and methodologies to tackle biological challenges. As physics progresses toward examining increasingly complex systems, its scope has broadened to encompass living organisms. This interdisciplinary field, known as biophysics, employs techniques from chemistry, physics, and other disciplines to investigate biological processes. Researchers in biophysics explore cellular system interactions, including those involving DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, along with their regulatory mechanisms. The School of Physics and Astronomy partners with various university departments to advance research in this domain.
