生物学哲学博士-生物物理学

生物物理学是一门跨学科的科学，涉及将物理学的方法和思想应用于生物系统的研究。它涵盖了生物尺度，从酶催化的量子力学描述到运动学的肌肉骨骼模型再到全球环境分析。建立在加州理工学院的悠久历史和在物理学和生物学上深厚的专业知识的基础上，生物物理课程为学生提供了严格的基础知识教育以及世界一流的研究机会。例如，在仪器方面的大量投资使加州理工学院的师生可以使用位于SLAC的专用加州理工学院/斯坦福大学X射线束线，最先进的低温电子显微镜和一套MRI系统以及其他系统。来自多个部门的教师为感兴趣的学生提供了广泛的研究机会。
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science involving the application of the methods and ideas of physics to the study of biological systems. It spans biological scales from quantum-mechanical descriptions of enzyme catalysis for instance to musculoskeletal models of kinesiology to global environmental analyses. Building on Caltech's rich history and deep present expertise in both physics and biology, the Biophysics track offers students rigorous education in the fundamentals as well as world-class research opportunities. Strong investments in instrumentation have, for instance, given Caltech faculty and students access to the dedicated Caltech/Stanford X-ray beamline at SLAC, state-of-the-art cryoelectron microscopes and a suite of MRI systems, among other systems. Faculty from multiple Divisions offer a broad range of research opportunities to interested students.
