Biophysics

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

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from physics, chemistry, and mathematics to study biological systems and their functions at various levels of organization, from molecular to cellular and beyond. It seeks to uncover fundamental physical laws governing biological processes, such as protein folding, ion channel gating, and gene regulation, with the aim of understanding how these processes give rise to life's complexity and diversity. By applying quantitative approaches and cutting-edge technologies, biophysicists contribute to advancements in drug discovery, medical diagnostics, and renewable energy, making it a vital area within the broader context of science, biotechnology, and chemistry.
