Bachelor degrees in Biophysics: A program that focuses on the application of physics principles to the scientific study the mechanisms of biological processes and assemblies at all levels of complexity. Includes instruction in research methods and equipment operation and applications to subjects such as bioenergetics, biophysical theory and modeling, electrophysics, membrane biology, channels, receptors and transporters, contractility and muscle function, protein shaping and folding, molecular and supramolecular structures and assemblies, and computational science.

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary combination of mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry directed towards study of how living organisms function. Biophysicists work in industry, research, universities, medical centers, and in the government. The Biophysics degree includes the normal prerequisites for a post-baccalaureate biophysics program. This program prescribes a 65-hour major combination of physics (24 hours), biology (17 hours), and chemistry...
Purpose The B.S. in Biophysics will prepare students to be competitive in pursuing employment or advanced degrees in the medical, biotechnical and pharmaceutical fields. The program will also give students an opportunity to work closely with at least one faculty mentor, and train and teach them to make informed decisions concerning personal, political, and ethical issues dealing with science and technology.
Biophysics is the study of biology by applying principles of physics in the broadest sense. Brown faculty are active in the following areas of biophysics research: (a) biomechanics of cell cytoskeleton and signal transduction, (b) biotechnology for drug and gene delivery, and (c) molecular structure and function of recepters and ion channels. Biophysics concentrators may perform independent studies in the above research areas, or other areas in biology,...
