Flux2 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm considering BME, applied physics, biophysics w/ either bio or nano concentration and was wondering what the specific differences are. Thanks:) compbio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elanorci Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I applied to some biophysics programs and found that what "biophysics" means varies widely by school. At some places it basically means conventional membrane dynamics and protein folding; at others, like Harvard, it includes computational approaches to a much broader variety of biological phenomena, like genomics and neuroscience. I'd suggest looking into specific programs rather than seeking a blanket term - I ended up applying to a wide range of programs including general biology, biophysics, and genetics, because the terminology varied so much from school to school. good luck (: Flux2 and compbio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberrant Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 What is biophysics?
