PRACTICAL BIOPHYSICS

CHEM 665

Equilibrium thermodynamics and chemical kinetics with emphasis on solution behavior and applications to biological macromolecules in solution. Focus on biological applications of physical chemistry.

BME/ME 505

Introduction to the physics of biological fluid flow with an emphasis on the cardiovascular system including blood rheology, pulsatile flow, wave travel, and topics relevant to blood flow measurement and biomedical device design.

BME 330

Introduction to the fundamental principles of kinetics and transport that are relevant for the analysis of biological systems. Topics covered include concepts of reaction rate, stoichiometry, equilibrium, momentum/mass transport, and the interaction between transport and kinetics in biological systems.

BSE 365

Principles of instrumentation and measurement systems, analysis of experimental data, electronic components, instrumentation for measuring various parameters of biological systems (e.g., temperature, force, flow).

BMOLCHEM 720

Covers following areas from historical to modern contexts: biochemistry of post-translational modification of proteins, model organisms, transcriptional switches, chromosome replication, and RNA in biological regulation.
