PHYS 8180 - Cellular Biophysics

3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)

Physical models of cellular structure and function are covered. Models include the application of continuum solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium polymerization dynamics, reaction-diffusion systems, and master’s equations to sub-cellular components such as cytoskeletal structures and membranes, single cells such as microorganisms and mammalian cells, and networks of cell.
