生物物理学理学学士

生理学是对身体系统功能的研究。发育生物学是对特定基因如何控制具有独特结构和功能的细胞，组织和器官分化的研究。这两个学科都需要数学，化学，物理学和细胞生物学的坚实基础。生物物理学的相关领域使用物理学，化学，数学和生物学方法研究生命的物理基础。高年级课程要求综合和整合来自许多科学领域的信息，以使人们能够理解诸如心脏如何泵血，神经元如何相互交流，胰岛素如何调节血糖以及特定基因产物如何决定形态和生理等重要过程。神经系统的功能能力。随着新技术在分子生物学中的应用，这些领域的知识正在迅速扩展。因此，大量接触分子生物学
Physiology is the study of the functions of the body systems. Developmental biology is the study of how specific genes govern differentiation of cells, tissues, and organs with unique structure and functions. Both disciplines require a firm foundation of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and cellular biology. The related area of biophysics uses the methods of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology to investigate the physical basis of life. Upper-division courses require synthesizing and integrating information from many areas of science to allow understanding of such remarkable processes as how the heart pumps blood, how neurons communicate with one another, how insulin regulates blood sugar, and how specific gene products determine the morphology and functional capacity of the nervous system. Knowledge in these areas is expanding rapidly as new techniques are applied in molecular biology. Hence, significant exposure to the concepts and techniques of molecular biology is an important component of the major.
