Welcome to Maryland BiophysicsResearch SpotlightWelcome to the Maryland Biophysics Program. The Biophysics Program brings together faculty from biochemistry, biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics working on questions at the intersection of the physical and life sciences. Please visit us for one of the weekly seminars and annual symposia with leading scientists. These events are open to the public, and bring together students and faculty from across campus and from nearby institutions. We are very excited about our new Biophysics Graduate Program, where each student develops an individualized curriculum with a cross-disciplinary group of three faculty advisors.
Wolfgang Losert Professor Wolfgang Losert became Director of the Biophysics Program in July 2011. He is also Director of the Partnership for Cancer Technology and a member of IPST and the Physics Department. Read more about the Biophysics program...
