Molecular Biophysics seeks to explain biological phenomena in terms of the physical and chemical properties of biological molecules - DNA, RNA, protein, membranes. It draws on the rich interactions that have developed in the interface regions between genetics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and other traditional disciplines. Here are some of the frontiers: • Assembly and function of complex molecular machinery • Organization of molecular networks and the transfer of information within them |  |

| • Design of macromolecules with novel functions • Understanding human disease and the evolution of life in molecular terms |
