Biophysics  is a hybrid science, in which physical principles and methods are applied to the study and explanation of the structure of living organisms

and the mechanics of life processes in all their diversity and complexity. Biology tells us how organisms handle nutrition, communication,

sensing the environment, reproduction.

Physics, on the other hand, establishes the mathematical laws of nature and makes detailed predictions about the forces driving idealized systems.

The challenge for biophysics is to bridge the gap between the complexity of life and the clarity of physical principles. Students will learn the following

during their Biophysics course:

-   Biophysical foundations of the design and functioning of basic cellular structures, selected tissues and organs, and the body as a whole;

-   Physical processes in the human body;

-   Mechanisms and  effects of physical factors on the human body;

-   Physical foundations of modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods
