This course provides an integrated understanding of the physical principles underlying biological systems, along with the instrumentation and experimental techniques used to study them. It bridges concepts from physics, biology, and engineering to explore how biological processes can be quantitatively analyzed. Students will be introduced to key topics such as molecular biophysics, bioenergetics, spectroscopy, microscopy, electrophysiology, and modern analytical tools. The course emphasizes both theoretical foundations and hands-on exposure to laboratory instruments and techniques commonly used in biological and biomedical research. By the end of the course, learners will be able to interpret experimental data, understand instrument design and functioning, and apply appropriate techniques to investigate biological questions.
