Biophysics is an interdisciplinary branch of science that can be considered as a bridge between chemistry, physics and biology. Biophysicists employ physical, chemical and mathematical methods to study living systems, from the tiniest subcellular parts to whole organisms.
Department of Biophysics (DBP) offers courses in Biophysics and Molecular Biophysics at all levels of university education (bachelor, master, doctoral). Our graduates have a qualification to work in a wide range of fields, including medicine, criminology, pharmacology, ecology, agriculture, or the food industry. However, many of them also choose to continue in academic career and participate in basic and applied research in physics, chemistry, biology or medicine.
Research focus of DBP is the study of the structure and function of protein complexes, reactive oxygen species in biological systems, the study of biophysical aspects of plant physiology and molecular and cellular pharmacology. DBP cooperates with laboratories in Czech Republic as well as abroad, both in Europe and overseas.
DBP also participates in the popularization of science among high school students within the frame of projects such as Badatel (Explorer; in Czech only).
