Slide 4: 

Biophysics is a bridge between biology and physics. 11BM28

Slide 5: 

Biophysics is the interdisciplinary technology consists of modern engineering tools, science and technology employed in the field of medical treatment and diagnostic in order to improve health care facility. 11BM28 BIOPHYSICS

Biophysics: 

Biophysics Biology studies life in its variety and complexity. It describes how organisms go about getting food, communicating,  sensing the environment, and reproducing. On the other hand, physics looks for mathematical laws of nature and makes detailed predictions about the forces that drive idealized systems. Biophysics looks for principles that describe patterns. If the principles are powerful, they make detailed predictions that can be tested. 11BM28

Slide 7: 

Biophysics gives us medical imaging technologies including MRI, CAT scans, PET scans, and sonograms for diagnosing diseases. Treatment methods of kidney dialysis Radiation Therapy Cardiac defibrillators, and pacemakers. 11BM28 BIOPHYSICS APPLICATIONS

Biophysics Applications: 

Biophysics Applications Biomolecular Interaction Analysis Membrane Protein and Lipid Studies Drug Discovery and Development (Protein - Small Molecule Interactions) Protein - Metal Ion Interactions Biomolecular Structure and Stability Protein Crystallography Studies 11BM28

Biophysics Applications: 

Biophysics applies the power of physics, chemistry, and math to understanding health, preventing disease and inventing cures. 11BM28 Biophysics Applications

Biophysics Applications: 

Biophysics discovers how to modify microorganisms for biofuel (replacing gasoline and diesel fuel) and bioelectricity (replacing petroleum products and coal for producing electricity). 11BM28 Biophysics Applications

Biophysics Applications: 

Biophysics harnesses microorganisms to clean our water and to produce lifesaving drugs. 11BM28 Biophysics Applications

Biophysics Applications: 

Biophysics studies life at every level, from atoms and molecules to cells, organisms, and environments 11BM28 Biophysics Applications

How essential is biophysics to progress in biology?: 

How essential is biophysics to progress in biology? Biophysics discovers how atoms are arranged to work in DNA and proteins. Proteins make the parts of your eyes, ears, nose, and skin that sense your environment. They turn food into energy and light into vision. They are your immunity to illness. Biophysicists are discovering how proteins work. 11BM28 IMPORTANCE
