Course Description

General overview

Physics 498 EBP: Experimental Biophysics

Students in this advanced laboratory course will participate in module-based experiments that involve cutting-edge methods and questions in biological physics. We will explore techniques such as optical imaging with resolution beyond the diffraction limit and high-throughput DNA sequencing. Through these activities, students will explore the methods that have opened the new field of quantitative biophysics and a predictive understanding of topics such as evolutionary and cellular dynamics.

4+4 hours every Tuesday and Thursday 1:00pm – 4:50pm

Following experimental modules covering various aspects of biophysical research will be conducted:

You will be expected to prepare a total of 5 writing lab reports in this course as well as 1 final oral presentation.
