Biophysics Laboratory

This laboratory course consists of "table-top" experiments in biological physics that are designed to introduce the student to concepts, methods, and biological model systems in biophysics. Most experiments combine experimentation with computer simulations. The list of available experiments includes electrophysiology, human bioelectricity, optical tweezers, ultrasonic imaging, mass spectrometer, and viscosity measurements.Prior completion of Prerequisite: Physics 191 - 192 or Phys 193 - 194 or Physics 197-198 or Phys 205 - 206 or permission of instructor.
