Description

In the field of Life Sciences, biology and physics are converging. Traditionally, the level of the cell is the domain of biologists and medical researchers. However, physical processes are at work as well on the cell level. To be able to understand the molecular basis of health and disease, knowledge of both physics and (molecular) biology is essential. Nanobiology is the discipline where biology, specifically the basic biology of human health and disease, and nanophysics meet. The Nanobiology programme of TU Delft and Erasmus MC builds on extensive existing bottom up research collaborations and cooperative mission organizations like Medical Delta.
