Prospective Students
Virtual Open House
Please join us on October 19, 2026, for a virtual Open House
What research questions are our students interested in?
- understanding biological systems in structural, physical, mechanistic and quantitative terms
- investigating structure-function relationship at the molecular, cellular or supracellular levels
- integrating experimental and computational methods to solve challenging biological phenomena and develop technology
What training do we offer?
Our flexible coursework and research labs provide training in a variety of experimental and computational methods, including:
- Advanced spectroscopy
- Structural methods, with cutting-edge Cryo-EM, NMR, X-ray crystallography facilities
- Single molecule methods
- Computation, simulations and modeling of macromolecular systems, cellular dynamics, tissues and cellular communities
- Proteomics and other high-throughput methods and analysis
- Development and design of biomedical technology
- And much more…
Who should apply?
The Biophysics Program is a tight community of students with a broad variety of backgrounds and interests. We welcome applications from:
- students from all majors across the biological and physical sciences and engineering (biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, bioengineering, molecular biology, neurosciences, bioengineering, chemical and biological engineering, etc)
- students who have or wish to develop a strong background in one of our main research areas
- students who have or wish to receive training at the intersection between various disciplines
- students interested in an exciting collaborative research environment
