In Biological Physics one studies phenomena on the borderline between physics and biology.
Where as physics uses mathematics to represent the laws of nature, biology has traditionally relied, to a large extent, on words and diagrams to describe the functions of living things. This has changed with the recent years' development in high-throughput and single molecule techniques, which has turned the biological science into a quantitative field.
Physicists play a major role in this emerging field of science, bringing a strong background in theory and the modelling of complexity.
