Physics in Biology
Abstract
(U) Understanding the fundamental physical phenomena that underlie biological processes and functions will provide insight and unique opportunities for understanding biological properties and exploiting such phenomena. Physics in biology will explore the role and impact of quantum effects in biological processes and systems. Using quantum theoretical models and mathematical algorithms, new understanding of quantum effects will enable exploitation in existing abiotic applications. This includes exploiting manifestly quantum mechanical effects that exist in biological systems at room temperature to develop a revolutionary new class of compact high sensitivity sensors.
