Biophysics
 The last decade has seen a phenomenal growth in research efforts directed toward biological problems leading to a massive increase in avaliable biological data. The techniques and methods of physics have by now become essential in interpreting and understanding biological processes. As a result, biological physics has emerged as one of the fastes growing disciplines in physics. In the physics & astronomy department at UNC, biological physicists develop biophysical models for information processing in the brain (Tiesinga) and develop techniques to probe and manipulate biological tissue on nanoscales (Superfine). Biological physics at UNC is part of a campus wide program involving other departments in the School of Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences. Future hiring of experimentalists in the biological physics group will further expand graduate and undergraduate research opportunities.
