Indian Biophysical SocietyWhat is Biophysics
Biophysics is a fast-evolving scientific discipline that incorporates physical principles to probe life’s underpinning. Investigations are inherently quantitative, and bridge large spatio-temporal scales spanning atoms and molecules to cells, organelles and ecosystems.
The umbrella effort employs sub-disciplines such as spectroscopy, computations and data science, microscopy and imaging, electrophysiology and biochemical assays, and nanotechnology. Scaling the frontiers often triggers cross talk between the sub-disciplines.
