Johns Hopkins University was one of the first institutions in the country to establish Biophysics as an independent discipline and to have a department dedicated to studying biology using the tools and approaches of physics and physical chemistry.

The Thomas C. Jenkins Department of Biophysics has a long tradition of excellence in research and teaching, and of developing leaders in the scientific community.

We are proud of the role the Jenkins Department has played in advancing biophysics and we invite you to learn more about us.
