This is the first course in a sequence of two courses providing meaningful research training for students majoring in Biophysics. Student research teams will work on current research problems in the biophysics field. The specific research problem will be developed and assigned by a research advisor. Student participants will develop a detailed knowledge of measurement techniques and limitations while also gaining an in-depth understanding of a current research area in the biophysics field. Students will be required to complete a literature search and review. Communication skills, both oral and written, will be emphasized.
