This course will develop physics models of cellular structures and functions and use these models to discuss experiments in cellular biology. Examples of questions that will be explored are: ``How do viruses assemble?'', ``How does a cell move?'', ``How are circuits constructed from genes and proteins?'', and ``How does a leopard get its spots?''. Students will learn a quantitative, physics-based approach to problems involving statistical mechanics, chemical kinetics, elasticity, theory, fluid dynamics, and diffusion, as they apply to cell biology. Cross-listed with Biology 4320. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:00AM - 11:15AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 335
