Collaborating Disciplines: Biology and Medicine--Physics and Engineering

The Engineering of Biology and Medicine.

In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of PNAS, this Special Feature summarizes the enormous progress that has been made in the engineering of biology and medicine. In 1915, PNAS published articles, such as “A comparison of methods for determining the respiratory exchange of man,” by T. M. Carpenter (1), “The lymphocyte as a factor in natural and induced resistance to transplanted cancer,” by ...

Physics-Biology Interface Physics-Biology-Medicine Interfaces in Neurobiology, Oncology and Genomics

Developing instrumentation developments and their associated methodologies as well as modelling activities, the group IPB (Physics-Biology Interface) is investigating by three research topics. The first subject, DNA sequencing, concerns the optimization of a multicapillary sequencer and more precisely the improvement of the DNA injection and laser focalisation. Separation matrix has also been s...

Exotic statistical physics: Applications to biology, medicine, and economics

This manuscript is based on four opening lectures, which were designed to o er a brief and somewhat parochial overview of some “exotic” statistical physics puzzles of possible interest to biophysicists, medical physicists, and econophysicists. These include the statistical properties of DNA sequences, heartbeat intervals, brain plaques in Alzheimer brains, and uctuations in economics. These pro...
