Module title:The Physics of Living Systems
Module codePHY2029
Module lecturers:Dr A. Corbett
Module credits:15

Students are introduced to the basic physical concepts and principles required to understand and study living systems. A synthetic approach is adopted: molecules-cells-tissue, emphasising the contributions of physics and the outstanding challenges. It starts at the molecular level and works up the scale of size and complexity to cover several major systems found in complex organisms.
