Cellular communication is an umbrella term used in biology and more indepth in biophysics and biochemistry to identify different types of communication methods between living cells. Some of the methods include cell signaling among others. The Journal of ‘Cell Communication and Signaling’, often synthesizes research on this topic. Adapted from the Wikipedia article Cellular communication [...]

William graduated high school at the age of 14 to attend college at Vanderbilt. He soon transferred to Johns Hopkins University. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in biophysics at Johns Hopkins University where he worked on the development of medical tests. He finished his Ph.D. in neurophysiology at the University of Utah. Adapted [...]
Since moving to Trondheim in 1977, Naqvi has worked on a wide range of problems within physics, chemistry and biology, dividing his time equally between theory and experiment and between the pure and the applied. These topics include: (1) calculation of Franck-Condon factors, (2) applications of linear transport theory to chemical kinetics, diffuse reflection spectroscopy, [...]
Dr. Lehmann was initially trained in internal medicine but became interested in physical modalities such as diathermy. This led him to study biophysics at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysics. In 1951 he moved to the United States to further pursue a study biophysics and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) at the Mayo Clinic, under [...]
Federation of the European Biochemical Societies, frequently abbreviated FEBS is an international scientific society promoting activities in biochemistry, molecular biology and molecular biophysics in Europe. Since it was founded in 1964 it has grown to include almost 40,000 members from 36 member societies and 7 associated societies from 43 countries [http://www.febs.org/index.php?id=64].

Amyloid is characterized by a cross-beta sheet quaternary structure. While amyloid is usually identified using fluorescent dyes, stain polarimetry, circular dichroism, or FTIR (all indirect measurements), the “gold-standard” test to see if a structure contains cross-beta fibres is by placing a sample in an X-ray diffraction beam. The term “cross-beta” was based on the observation [...]
Rama Bansil serves as Professor of Physics at Boston University, a post she has held since 1997. Although trained as a physicist, her work and professional associations are multi-disciplined, with areas of expertise encompassing biopolymer engineering, polymer engineering, photonics, nanoscience, nanobiotechnology, biophysics and biochemistry. Adapted from the Wikipedia article Rama Bansil, under the G. N. [...]

Contemporary research in physics can be broadly divided into condensed matter physics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; particle physics; astrophysics; geophysics and biophysics. Some physics departments also support research in Physics education. Since the twentieth century, the individual fields of physics have become increasingly specialized, and today most physicists work in a single field for [...]
