The University of Chicago is offering a fundamentally interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Biophysical Sciences. This unique program is offered to top students in the Physical Sciences who want to explore the deep interface between the physical and the biological views of natural science. We provide our students with the training, community, and facilities they need to create new fields and knit together the old ones. The Graduate Program in Biophysical Sciences explores and combines the fields of Synthetic Biology, Systems Biology, Chemical Biology, and Computational & Engineering Biology on top of a strong foundation of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biochemistry, and Cell Biology - covering the dynamics and structure of life from quantum and statistical mechanics, through the resolution of light, and up to the form and function of the basic biological unit (the cell).
The biological and physical sciences intersect in many dimensions and on several scales. For example, check out the Committee on Medical Physics, Computational Neuroscience, Evolutionary Biology, and the new Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology.
