Welcome to the Institute of Biophysics!
Biophysics is a transdisciplinary science, which integrates
the complexity of biology with the formal elegance
of physical laws.
Biophysics synthesizes the contributions of various disciplines to quantitatively and formally define the molecular mechanisms underlying life on earth.
The understanding and control of these mechanisms fosters the devolopment of original applications such as medical diagnostics, new drugs discovery and design,
and, at the same time, the understanding of self-organization and regulation mechanisms of ecosystems
and the preservation of biodiversity.
