PH.D. IN BIOPHYSICS Course

PhD in Biophysics is a three-year doctoral degree that will provide theoretical as well as practical knowledge that is required to be registered as a Biophysicists or Method Development Associate. It deals with physical phenomena and physical processes in living things, on scales spanning molecules, cells, tissues, and organisms.

A PhD in Biophysics is designed as such to provide skills and detailed knowledge to the candidates in order to create awareness in them about each and every aspect of the discipline. It is the science of developing theories and methods of physics towards the investigation of biological problems. Students will have provided tools during their research work to critically examine the world of medical science and how it influences society, the nation as a whole. 

Syllabus 

The year-wise breakup of the course’s syllabus i.e. the areas of Research of Biophysics is nicely designed with almost theory papers and compulsory practical paper in each year with final year thesis submission is given below.
