Research in Biophysics

Catalog description

The course will give students tools to measure and analyze biophysical processes, such as crystallization, nucleation, diffusion, fluorescence, bio-luminescence, protein expression, thermal imaging and more. Students will use micro-thermography (thermal imaging), temperature-controlled stages, luminometry, chromatography and electrophoresis, and a combination of these techniques to measure and study the biophysical processes. Requires a minimum of 5 hours of lab work per week as assigned. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1046 and CHEM 1047 .
