Overview

NOTE: The deadline represents when the Nomination is due. What Is Biophysics? Biophysics is the field that applies the theories and methods of physics to understand how biological systems work. Biophysics has been critical to understanding the mechanics of how the molecules of life are made, how different parts of a cell move and function, and how complex systems in our bodies—the brain, circulation, immune system, and others— work. Biophysics is a vibrant scientific field where scientists from many fields including math, chemistry, physics, engineering, pharmacology, and materials sciences, use their skills to explore and develop new tools for understanding how biology—all life—works. Student Bioenergeticist Award About the Award The Student Bioenergeticist Award is given to outstanding master and graduate students working in the bioenergetics field. The award is based on the candidate's track record of accomplishments as well as the candidate's abstract that will be presented at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting. The Student Bioenergeticist Award is selected by the members of the Bioenergetics Subgroup Council. The award recipient will will receive a $150 cash prize and will be invited to present his/her work at the Subgroup symposium.
