About the class
This course is the experimental counterpart of BE/APh 161: Physical Biology of the Cell. The basic idea of both courses is to pursue the exciting opportunities that exist at the interface between biology and more traditional quantitative sciences. In particular, the ambition of these courses is to use quantitative tools to investigate biological systems.
