Biophysics
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles and methods of physics to understand biological systems, from molecules and cells to organisms and ecosystems. It combines quantitative analysis, mathematical modeling, and experimental techniques to study biological phenomena such as protein folding, membrane dynamics, neural signaling, and biomechanics. This field bridges biology and physics to uncover the physical mechanisms underlying life processes.
Developers should learn biophysics when working in bioinformatics, computational biology, medical technology, or biotechnology, as it provides tools for modeling biological data, simulating complex systems, and developing diagnostic or therapeutic devices. It is essential for roles involving biological data analysis, drug discovery, or the creation of biomedical software and hardware, such as in genomics, neurotechnology, or medical imaging applications.
