Biophysics

Definition of Biophysics as it relates to Science, Biotechnology, Biology

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology to understand and explain the behavior of biological systems at various levels - from individual molecules to cells, tissues, and whole organisms. By employing theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches, researchers in this area investigate fundamental principles governing the structure, function, dynamics, and interactions of biological macromolecules and assemblies, with applications ranging from understanding diseases to designing novel therapies and bio-inspired materials. In the context of Science/Biotechnology/Biology hierarchy, Biophysics delves into the physical underpinnings of life and biotechnological processes, thus providing a strong foundation for further exploration in these areas.
