Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field that led to some of the most significant breakthrough in modern science. This course aim to cover the introductory concepts of Physics that associated with the life science phenomena. Students will expose to fundamental principle in Physics in order to understand biological systems such as biomechanics of muscle, biological structures, physical process of bio-transport, thermodynamics of biosystems, bioenergy conversion, physiology of respiration and diffusion phenomena. Throughout this course, students will apply the related Physics principles to solve the problem in biological system. There will be a number of laboratory demonstration and activities to enhance the understanding of the students. The course also cover the topic of bioenergetics, homeostasis, and neuroscience systems.
