Welcome

The post genomic era demands that expertise from a number of disciplines be used to solve some of the outstanding problems in biology, biomedicine, and bioengineering. In recognition of this fact we have assembled an outstanding group of faculty from biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics to start a graduate program in Biophysics. The unique feature of the Maryland Biophysics Program is to train graduate students to use theoretical and computational methods to interpret and design cutting edge experiments on biological systems.

We welcome students, with any background in science or engineering, who have a desire to work at the interface of several disciplines. Because our program is small, we expect to tailor the curriculum to suit the needs of the individual.

Share our enthusiasm in tackling the next generation of problems in the complex world of biology using novel experimental and theoretical techniques. The adventures in pursuing the frontiers of biology will surely be exciting, and we look forward to your participation and contributions.
