Yes, genetics is important, but how a homogeneous embryo breaks symmetry to become a developed being involves collective motions from the sub-cellular to the organism scale. As a result, modern biophysics borrows and has helped to advance concepts from nonlinear physics, soft matter, and non-equilibrium statistical physics.<br \/>\nIn this course we will focus on cell (and some tissue) biophysics, but will also delve into how organisms respond and adapt to their surroundings. We will emphasize throughout how intrinsically driven chemical reactions and molecular changes can give rise to out of equilibrium macroscopic responses. The course will broken down into five chapters, as illustrated in the figure.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201c<em>Physical biology of the cell<\/em>\u201d by R.
