Biological and Statistical Physics
The Biological and Statistical Physics Group, consisting of four faculty members, applies various experimental and theoretical methods to understand complex phenomena in biological systems, covering an extremely diverse selection of research topics with time and length scales ranging from femtoseconds and nanometers to decades and huge ecological systems. They are particularly interested in nonlinear dynamics of neural networks, cell motility and tissue dynamics, single molecule biophysics of nucleic acids, deep-tissue optical bio-imaging, and statistical physics of complex networks and biological systems applications of network theory.
