Biophysics

Biophysics is a very exciting and rapidly expanding research field that explores new areas between physics and biology. The complexity of life is investigated at every level and analysed with physical methods. At Ulm University, we strive to understand these molecular interactions and the mechanisms that control them, to learn more about life processes, their underlying physical principles and the bases of disease in case of malfunction.
