Student Spotlight Zhenhui Liu Johns Hopkins University

Department of Mechanical Engineering What do you wish you knew before you began your studies in biophysics?

Before stepping into the field of biophysics, I had a purely engineering background. I wish I had started build- ing up my knowledge base in cell biology earlier, so I could discover all those fascinating biological questions to be answered, and realize that biophysics is such a study that combines engineering and biology to create a meaningful impact.
