2. Introduction
Biophysics is an interdependent science discipline that
employs unique methods of physics and physical chemistry
to acquire knowledge on the biological systems present in
our world. It applies the principles of Physics and Chemistry
and the methods of Mathematical Analysis and Computer
Modeling to understand how biological systems work.
Biophysics explains biological function in terms of the
molecular structures and their properties. Biophysics is a
bridge between biology and physics. This discipline is
concerned with applications of the principles and methods
of physical sciences to biological problems.

3. Eligibility
As far as the eligibility conditions of the candidates who intend
to pursue Biophysics are concerned, they must basically have
an undergraduate degree (with Physics, Biology and
Chemistry).Some University offers Biophysics specifically. It is
not mandatory for a candidate to acquire proficiency in
Biophysics at the graduate level and then go for Higher Studies
in Biophysics. The Candidate may have BSc (Hons) in Human
Biology, BSc (Life Sc)/BVSc/BSc (Hons) in respective field and
also enter as a research scholar or a Fellow Research
Assistant.It is necessary for MD (Biophysics) with the
completion of MBBS from recognized university.

4. Job Prospects
Biophysics is a growing enterprise world-wide, driven
primarily by the widespread realization of the major
contributions made to biological science by a
combination of truly state-of-the-art physical
measurements with modern molecular biology.
Biophysics discovers how to modify microorganisms for
biofuel (replacing gasoline and diesel fuel) and
bioelectricity (replacing petroleum products and coal for
producing electricity). Biophysicists identifies how
proteins work
