The course aims to introduce students to the basic concepts of the interdisciplinary field of Biological Physics.

It is an introductory interdisciplinary course that offers an overview of Physics related to Biology and addresses one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: the meeting of Physics with Biology. The aim of the course is to deepen students' understanding of the fundamental laws of Physics and how they interpret and also set limitations on the evolution of biological phenomena.

The course material offers students an overview of key physics concepts related to biological applications ranging from the properties of proteins and processes in the cell. It also examines general issues of common interest, such as reductionism, determinism, randomness, and the balance between order and disorder, where the Physical view is often misinterpreted. There are descriptive sections that are sufficient for understanding general ideas and sections that are more detailed for a deeper understanding of ideas expressed in terms of mathematical equations.
