Biophysics of Life
Academic Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-443-36368-9 (ISBN)
As physics laws govern most of the molecular processes associated with biological life, this book seeks to investigate the origin and development of life through that lens, considering how life’s maturation happened as a result of the coordinated actions of physics, chemistry, and biology. This is an important reference for researchers working across biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and in related fields.
Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman, a biophysicist and condensed matter scientist, is passionate about investigating biological and biochemical processes utilizing physics principles and techniques. He is a professor of biophysics at King Saud University’s Biochemistry Department in the College of Science, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; the co-founder of MDT Canada Inc., a drug discovery company, and the founder of Child Life Development Institute, Edmonton, Canada. He has authored / edited 4 books, 60 peer-reviewed articles and several patents, and has served on the editorial boards of Elsevier and Bentham Science journals. Professor Ashrafuzzaman held research and academic ranks at Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology, University of Neuchatel (Switzerland), Helsinki University of Technology (Finland), Weill Medical College of Cornell University (USA), and University of Alberta (Canada). During 2013– 2018 he served as a Visiting Professor at the Departments of Oncology, and Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of Alberta. Professor
