Course description

The course offers a comprehensive education in molecular, cellular, and tissue-specific biophysics. It emphasizes experimental, theoretical, and nanotechnological approaches. Spanning three semesters, the program begins with compulsory courses in the first and second semesters. These include biological physics, physical chemistry, experimental methods, statistical principles, biochemistry, molecular biology, nanobiotechnology, molecular and cellular biophysics, and molecular nanostructures and nanomachines, both in theory and practice. Students also learn modern measurement and analysis methods, along with theoretical techniques. Starting in the second semester, students can specialize in one of three areas: experimental biological physics, theoretical biological physics, or nanobiotechnology. Each specialization offers a variety of compulsory elective courses, allowing students to tailor their education to their interests.
