“I am a biophysicist and I use computers to understand how molecules interact with each other. I hope to combine simulations and experiments to understand biological pro- cesses of biomedical relevance at the molecular level.”

Sarah Waxman, Undergraduate at Rutgers University Rutgers University, New Brunswick NJ, Richard Ludescher’s lab “I am a biophysicist and I use fluorescence to study how edible food colors can be used as probes for the physical properties of food!” Sri Ranjini Arumugam Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Goettingen, Germany, Nanoscale Spin Imaging Lab “I am a biophysict and enjoy being one. I work with microscopes and proteins.”
