Some Critical Questions in Biological Physics (eBook, ePUB)

A guided tour around the bugbears

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Some Critical Questions in Biological Physics discusses 18 key questions in biological physics, each forming independent chapters that will, by presenting the research in terms of key, unsolved problems, encourage interest in the field. Each chapter includes an introduction that is meant to be accessible to all readers followed by a section containing more technical details that may be of greater interest to specialists but still written in an accessible style. The book provides useful reading for undergraduate physical scientists considering a research career in the life science by presenting biological physics in a coherent modern framework. Additionally, it includes material relevant to medicine, pharmaceutics and biotechnology, and demonstrates biological physics with modern examples with a readily approachable style.

Autorenporträt

Dr Thomas Andrew Waigh was a physics undergraduate at the University of Edinburgh and then completed a PhD in the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. This was followed by a two-year post-doc at the Collège de France in Paris, in the laboratory of Pierre Giles de Gennes. He then returned to the UK with a lectureship in physics at the University of Leeds. Currently, he is a senior lecturer in biological physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. Previously, he has written two books on biological physics, Applied Biophysics and The Physics of Living Processes: a Mesoscopic Approach, published by Wiley. He has published more than 80 articles.
