  1. New Degree Program in BIOMEDICAL PHYSICS

  2. What is Biomedical Physics? Biomedical Physics: - Applications of physics to biology and medicine. • Molecular biology and biophysics • Medical technology: • Imaging • Radiation therapy • Biotechnology and bioengineering

  3. Why study Biomedical Physics? • Interdisciplinary: • New discoveries in science at the interface of different disciplines: Physics, Biology, Chemistry. • Physics: Quantitative, analytical skills are crucial for advancing biological and medical knowledge. Being a physicist will give you an edge in the bio- and medical fields! • Excellent preparation for: • Medical school • Biomedical engineering • Medical Physics • Pharmacy • Graduate research in biophysics, physics, materials science • A job in the emerging high-tech biomedical industries

  4. New application-based courses Specially designed courses teach the applications of Physics to Biology and Medicine • PHY 3700 (Math for Biomedical Physics) (4 cr.) • Special mathematics course for biomedical physics majors - Calculus, Statistics. • PHY 4700 (Introduction to Biomedical Physics) (4cr.) • Modern Physics topics for Biomedical physics: Quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, Magnetic resonance etc. • PHY 6700: Biological Physics (4 cr.) • Applications of Physics to molecular scale biology using many examples from current research. • RAD/PHY 6710: Physics in Medicine (3 cr.) • Applications of Physics to modern medicine: Medical Imaging, Radiation therapy etc. Will be taught by faculty from Medical Physics. • PHY 5700: Biomedical Seminar (3 cr.) • Students will present modern research topics in the application of Physics to Biology and Medicine. Students can also present their own research in Bio- or Medical Physics. • PHY 6780 Research in Biomedical Physics • Hands-on research skills in cellular biophysics: Microscopy, fluorescence, scanning probe, single-molecule techniques
