In a constantly changing world, we as individuals and as a society are faced with new challenges every day. For instance, the soil is becoming depleted due to the way we are using it and people are suffering from various ailments and diseases at an increasingly younger age. Biophysics examines the workings of and interactions between cells to explain how certain problems arise and how conditions can be improved.
You will help find solutions to issues in the medical world and explain the behaviour of molecular mechanisms in biological systems. For example, you can study diseases in detail and examine tissues in one of the well-equipped laboratories at VU Amsterdam. Or you can delve into processes such as photosynthesis and discover how you can use these processes in the development of sustainable energy. When you study biophysics at VU Amsterdam, you contribute to a better life for many different people, right from the laboratory. If you are fascinated by the processes that take place between systems and cells and you are interested in mapping and analysing this data, then come to VU Amsterdam and make a difference.
