Overview
The research-oriented program in Physics of Biological and Complex Systems from University of Göttingen, is taught in English and open to students who hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in the physics, biophysics, chemistry, life sciences or related fields.
Features
- Building upon the increasingly strong links between physics, chemistry and the life sciences, the program aims at advancing the quantitative and molecular understanding of life processes while at the same time exploring new frontiers of physics.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Research topics include biomolecular structure and dynamics, biological membranes, motor proteins and pattern formation in systems of interacting cells, neuronal information processing, and hydrodynamics and pattern formation of complex fluids.
- The program offers cutting-edge advanced microscopy courses and teaches the basics of new cutting-edge techniques essential for studying life processes in combination with quantitative physical approaches and synthetic strategies.
