物理学哲学博士-生命系统物理学

佐治亚理工学院物理学院的生命系统物理小组致力于了解物理学如何为生物系统的结构，功能和动力学问题提供信息，并研究生物系统提出的基本物理问题。与该小组相关的教师致力于解决一系列生物学长度和时间范围的问题：从数亿年的行星生态系统演变到以1 m / sec的速度在沙子上运行的10 cm长的蜥蜴的运动，再到20的力学微米直径的细胞及其在第二到分钟时间尺度上的动力学，以在100毫秒内组装病毒，以研究DNA堆积如何在分子水平上影响转录动力学和活性。
The Physics of Living Systems Group in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech seeks to understand how physics can inform questions of structure, function and dynamics in biological systems, and to study fundamental physics questions posed by biological systems. Faculty associated with the group work on problems in a range of biological length and time scales: from evolution of planetary ecosystems over hundreds of millions of years to locomotion of 10 cm long lizards running on sand at 1 m/sec, to the mechanics of 20 micron diameter cells and their dynamics on second to minute time scales, to assembly of viruses within 100 msec to the study of how DNA packing influences transcriptional dynamics and activity at the molecular level.
