Befitting UCSB's reputation as a highly-interdisciplinary research university, groups researching biophysics (loosely defined) can be found in many departments. Many, but not all, of those groups are associated with the [[BMSE|http://www.bmse.ucsb.edu/]] program. Some of the other labs with significant biophysics efforts are (listed by principal investigator):
[[Safinya|http://www.mrl.ucsb.edu/mrl/faculty/safinya.html]], [[Pincus|http://www.mrl.ucsb.edu/mrl/faculty/pincus.html]], [[Israelachvili|http://www.mrl.ucsb.edu/mrl/faculty/israelachvili.html]], [[Brown|http://www.chem.ucsb.edu/%7Ebrowngroup/]], [[Shea|http://www.chem.ucsb.edu/~sheagroup/]], [[Fygenson|http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~deborah/]], [[Lipman|http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~lipman/]], [[Shraiman|http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~shraiman/]]

!!!Thermodynamic Foundations of Materials
This is a rigorous graduate-level course that covers, during the first half, the statistical mechanics principles that underly thermodynamics, and then, in the second half, the application of those principles to basic issues of materials science. It is a required course for all 1st year materials graduate students; the 200A/B/C sequence forms the core classwork of the Ph.D. program.
[[2007 course syllabus|http://www.engr.ucsb.edu/~saleh/Teaching/200AF07/Mat200ASyllabus2007.pdf]]
!!! Complex fluids
This course covers the science of complex fluids, i.e. solutions composed of a solvent and one or more solutes that, while large relative to the solvent, are still strongly affected by thermal fluctuations. We cover the unique interactions that govern solution behavior, and describe the effect of those potentials on polymeric and colloidal systems. This framework is then applied to the structure and interactions of bio-polymers.
[[2007 Course syllabus|http://www.engr.ucsb.edu/~saleh/Teaching/271BW07/syllabus.pdf]]
!!!Mechanical Force and Biomolecules
This course gives an overview of the importance of mechanical processes in biomolecular behavior. It reviews both modern instrumental techniques, and the theories that attempt to account for mechanical biomolecular behavior. The course places a heavy emphasis on the recent literature of this still-developing subject.

[[Biophysics at UCSB]]
Omar Saleh received a B.S. in Physics from M.I.T. in 1997, then attended Princeton University for his graduate studies. For his thesis, he developed novel biosensors based on methods of micro- and nano-fabrication. He received his Ph.D. from the physics department in 2003, and then moved into the field of single-molecule biophysics. His post-doctoral research took place at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, where he studied the properties of the motor protein ~FtsK. He arrived at UCSB in September 2005, where he is currently an assistant professor in the [[Materials Department|http://www.materials.ucsb.edu/]] and [[Biomolecular Science and Engineering Program|http://www.bmse.ucsb.edu/]].

!!!Research
We study the physics of biomolecular systems, with a focus on developing instruments capable of measuring and manipulating the properties of single biomolecules and their interactions. Current projects include: developing single-molecule tracking methods with sub-nanometer resolution; visualizing the elastic properties of DNA; and determining the physical mechanisms of DNA replication. Peruse our [[publications|Publications]] for more details.
!!!Support
Funding for the lab is currently obtained from [[HFSP|http://www.hfsp.org]], [[NSF|http://www.nsf.gov]] and [[NIH|http://www.nih.gov]].
!!!Positions
We are always on the lookout for good people! Interested applicants should [[contact|Contact]] Omar, preferably by emailing a CV and cover letter.
