Experimental biophysics
I have a question, sorry if this is meant for the weekly education thread but it’s meant more for a general biophysics discussion.
I wanted to know what being a biophysicist entails, since it’s more of a smaller field and I’ve never met anyone who works in it. I tried to research how the work environment is like but all I seem to get is people who work in bioinformatics which while still interesting is not what I enjoy about biology
What do they do on a daily basis?
Is it possible for a physicist to work in a wet lab?
Does one have to have a background in biology to pursue it?
I’m currently still an undergrad student but I realized the reason I never liked biology wasn’t because I didn’t like biological systems, it was because I’m not good at memorization rather than with numbers so I never even thought of pursuing it, but I still really like the environment they work in and was wondering if someone with a physics background can break into an industry like biotech or molecular biology with the possibility to bring their physics problem solving perspective into a lab.
Thanks a lot !!
