<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I will teach the special topics in biophysics course (8809.01) next semester.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This course is designed to give students a good understanding of modern biophysical techniques while keeping the focus on contemporary biological problems. The topics will include
live cell microscopy (diffraction limited and super-resolved), single bio-molecule imaging and manipulation techniques and cellular electrophysiology. The course consists of lectures, discussion sessions and student presentations. The overall goal is to strengthen
students' ability to approach emerging biological questions with relevant methods. Students with backgrounds in biology, chemistry, and physics are equally encouraged to enroll. The course materials are research papers and will be assigned bi-weekly.
