Biological Physicists, also known as Biophysicists, apply the principles and techniques of physics to study living things and how they function. At a macroscopic level, biophysicists are exploring how organisms develop and how they see, hear, taste, feel, think, and move. At a microscopic level, biophysicists are studying the factors controlling how cells move and interact, how they harness and process energy, and how they react to external physical stimuli. To facilitate their explorations, biophysicists develop new or improved techniques of imaging, diagnosis, and analysis, one particularly well-known example being Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
