This department teaches and performs research in applications of physics to living systems.
Teaching includes courses for physics, natural sciences and cognitive neuroscience students and service courses for students in computer science, biology, medicine, dentistry, biomedical sciences and molecular life sciences.
Research encompasses the neural basis of behavior (auditory, vestibular and visuo-motor system, computational neuroscience and motor control), bioelectricity and machine learning.
Biofysica UMC
The group's focus is to investigate the brain from genes to neurochemistry to behaviour. Based on clinical questions regarding the neurobiology of psychiatric and neurological disorders, the role and function of genes and neurotransmitter systems are investigated in more depth using highly validated and novel genetic rodent models.
Molecular Neurobiology
This department takes an integrative approach towards the fields of experimental and computational neuroscience. Our group is thus comprised of academics specializing in a variety of disciplines, including electrophysiology, computer science, mathematics, physics, bioinformatics, and behavioural neuroscience. The department is actively pursuing two lines of research which encompass this approach: neurophysiology and neuroinformatics.
