PHYS 498 EBP

Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in physics intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites. Course Information: 1 to 4 undergraduate hours. 1 to 4 graduate hours. May be repeated in the same or separate terms if topics vary.

Physics 498 EBP: Experimental Biophysics Students in this advanced laboratory course will participate in module-based experiments that involve cutting-edge methods and questions in biological physics. We will explore techniques such as optical imaging with resolution beyond the diffraction limit and high-throughput DNA sequencing. Through these activities, students will explore the methods that have opened the new field of quantitative biophysics and a predictive understanding of topics such as evolutionary and cellular dynamics.
