Overview of research in Biophysics Institute @NCU. 中央大學生物物理所 From DNA to collective behavior of organisms  Why BioPhysics ? Material Nature of Bio-substances affect Biological properties. (Evolution made use of the physical properties of bio-materials) Physical principles Laws holds from microscopic level ? macroscopic level Traditional Biology is descriptive, non-quantitative Why BioPhysics ? Physics is universal. Rise of molecular biology: DNA, RNA, protein are universal in all living matters Universality in Central Dogma: DNA?RNA?protein?Biological functions… New, interesting, exciting useful. Lots of unsolved important problems. Techniques Methodology in physics can probe the fundamental principles in bio-systems of a wide spectrum of scales in a quantitative way. 國立中央大學 生物物理研究所 Officially established in 2004 教授: 6 副教授: 1 助理教授 3 合聘教授: 2 合聘助理教授: 1 現有從事生物物理領域在學研究生 碩士班：23 博士班：8 博士後: 3 以物理之技術或方法去探討生物系統中存在之基本原理，從而對生物過程提供深入及定量之了解。 「5年500億」頂尖中心經費建立生物物理共用核心設施 歡迎物理與非物理背景同學加入.中大及中研院提供獎學金 BioPhysics Institute @NCU Officially established in 2004 Professors: 6 Assoc.
