Biophysik der Zelle 2

What it is about

You will learn physical fundamentals and modern methods for investigating cells and cellular processes. The emphasis is on optical and fluorescence-based microscopy methods, the physics of hearing, properties of biological membranes, as well as the structure of viruses and basics of immunology. In the end you will be able to explain the functioning of the methods and systems studied and assess their experimental access.

What you will be able to do

• Know modern microscopy methods, in particular single-molecule and fluorescence methods
• Understand the functioning of the ear and the associated experimental methods
• Understand biological membranes and hydrophobicity (macroscopic and microscopic)
• Understand equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics
• Be able to describe the structure of viruses
• Be able to describe the function of the immune system
