The MIT Biophysics Program seeks to advance a quantitative, mechanistic understanding of biological systems using an interdisciplinary approach that integrates methods and concepts from physics and chemistry. Toward this aim, students are trained in applications of physics and chemistry to investigating biological function at the molecular, cellular, and systems level.

The MIT Biophysics Program spans the Schools of Science and Engineering including the Departments of Biology, Biological Engineering, Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Health Sciences & Technology, Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Physics.
