Why Work for Biophysics?
The Department of Biophysics has been on the forefront of innovation since its inception, and is brimming with creativity. We have strong research programs in structural biology and biomedical imaging, including electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). State-of-the-art research resources geared toward these programs—including laboratories for EPR, NMR, MRI, X-ray crystallography, cryo electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, biomolecular analysis, and high-performance computing—are available.
Why Work at ӰԺ?
The ӰԺ brings together the most inquisitive minds in science, medicine, education, and community engagement to advance biomedical knowledge and solve human health challenges. Our goal is to harness the power of academic medicine, where scientists, clinicians, and students actively collaborate with each other and the community, to find novel solutions to the challenges in health and society today. We ask the questions no one else is asking to fuel the continuous cycle of knowledge that’s shaping the future of translational research.
