Physicists have a long tradition in developing methods and concepts for the advance of life sciences. In recent decades, however, “medical physics” has been mostly associated with medical “technology” such as methods in radiology, where issues in patient diagnostics and clinical care are addressed. With the recent progress in biophysics and nano-optics, a new era is being born where physicists employ their experimental and theoretical toolboxes to fundamental questions in medical research and cell biology. In this poster presentation, I shall discuss some of the current trends in this exciting research area as well as our group’s activities within the framework of the newly founded Zentrum für Physik und Medizin in Erlangen.
