Course content
Biophysics of complex systems is one of the most important disciplines in the system of training highly qualified biologists. Based on the concept of integrity, it studies various macroscopic systems consisting of many elements, the cooperative and dynamic behavior of which leads to the emergence of new structures, the formation of complex functions and behavior in a changing environment. The discipline is based on a systems approach, that is, a style of scientific thinking focused on the integration of scientific knowledge and the combination of studying the problem at the molecular, cellular, organismal and population levels.
