Biophysics is best described as a mixture of the principles of physics and biology observations so it all goes into a higher unity. You get to work with the basic laws in physics and apply the theory to specific biological processes. You might want to find new medical treatments for patients with cancer or work on the development of revolutionary optical devices. A biofysikker have popular terms throughout the world as his playground, and if you have a penchant for physics and biology, then you will find training as a biophysicist attractive.

Biophysics used to explore the border area between physics and biology. This is one of the most complex systems that scientists use computer models to calculate the basic cell structure.

You will learn to function as a link between physicists and biologists, since it is often the physicists are doing the calculations and the mathematical models and biologists who perform all the tests.

Biophysicists is used in many contexts, especially in cell biology, where stem cell research is a large area. But DNA research, cloning and cell membranes absorption of proteins and other substances.

In addition to the large and obvious need is in the medical field, then a biophysicist also be used to calculate the complex systems and networks. Biophysicists find formulas and organization of the chaos and mess it looks like nature is. But through dynamic computer models have been found correlations showing a basic structure. These chaos theory can even be used to calculate and set expectations for share prices so biophysicists also can work in the financial sector.
