Within the framework of the #BiophysicsWeek – the annual international effort organised by the Biophysical Society  to raise awareness of the field of biophysics – for the UST seminar of the 8th of March we hosted a mini-symposium “When biology and physics meet: Shedding light on a blind date”  illustrating the basic concepts of this discipline and celebrate its accomplishments.

Prof. Pau Gorostiza (IBEC-ICREA) and Dr. Carlo Manzo (UVic-UCC) have introduced the concept of biophysics for a general audience through an overview of biophysical studies, from early experiments to recent applications.
