Biological Physics & Soft Matter

The Biological Physics and Soft Matter group aims to use bespoke technology and analytical methods borrowed from the Physical Sciences to address important fundamental questions in Biology. Building up on a strong tradition in Biophysics at King’s, the purpose of the new research group is to employ cutting-edge experimental and computational approaches to tackle the most exciting unresolved scientific challenges in this highly interdisciplinary field.
