| Learning outcomes |
|
The course will provide the basics of biophysics as a starting point for the study of living systems using physical methods.
Students will gain a general overview, knowledge of general approaches and the understanding of broader contexts important for further education. The chapters of molecular and cell biophysics are discussed in relation to the elucidation of the principles of selected laboratory examination methods. |
