物理学哲学博士-生物物理学

生命系统的特征是在从分子到多细胞的许多层次上高度组织和协调的相互作用。在每个层次上，生物都可以利用不同的物理原理来实现这种组织，并与环境进行有益的交互。对生物物理学的研究旨在精确地了解不同的生命系统如何工作，并加深对生命的欣赏。布朗的研究人员正在研究从分子规模到细胞，再到细胞网络协同工作等生物物质卓越性能的背后原因。我们提供理论和实验物理学方面的各种研究机会。我们的实验研究包括天体物理学和宇宙学，生物物理学，凝聚态物理学，基本粒子物理学，低温物理学，非线性光学和表面物理学。该部门的理论研究工作包括凝聚态物
Living systems are characterized by highly organized and coordinated interactions on many levels that range from the molecular to the multi-cellular. At each level, living matter can take advantage of different physical principles to achieve this organization and interacts usefully with the environment. The study of biological physics seeks to understand precisely how different living systems work, and to build a deeper appreciation for life. Researchers at Brown are investigating what lies behind the remarkable properties of living matter from the molecular scale, to the cellular, to the coordinated efforts of cellular networks. We offer a diverse range of research opportunities in theoretical and experimental physics. Our experimental research encompasses astrophysics and cosmology, biological physics, condensed-matter physics, elementary-particle physics, low-temperature physics, nonlinear optics, and surface physics. Included in the department's theoretical research efforts are investigations in condensed-matter physics, cosmology and general relativity, elementary-particle physics, and neural science.
