This focus area explores the intersection of physics with biology, medicine, and bio-inspired materials, building on our decades-long expertise in the physics of soft materials (polymers, gels, liquid crystals) and medical-imaging. The physics of biology is interweaved on multiple scales: from molecules to cells to organisms.
