In the Honours Biophysics Program we normally recommend that you specialize in the upper years in one of three main streams:
1. Molecular and Cell Biology
2. Biology at the level of organisms
Applied biology, mainly medical physics
For 1. and 2. you can contact:
a) Martin Adamson adamson@zoology.ubc.ca or James Berger berger@zoology.ubc.ca in Zoology. Other contacts are
Vanessa Auld auld@zoology.ubc.ca and John Gosline gosline@zoology.ubc.ca.
Also:
b) Richard Barton barton@interchange.ubc.ca (822-6215),
c) Everard Trip evtrip@interchange.ubc.ca (822-4872).
who are the Biochem advisors.
If you are interested in taking courses in the Microbiology department a good person to talk to is:
d) William Ramey wramey@unixg.ubc.ca.
For 3. I suggest
Alex McKay mackay@physics.ubc.ca
who is often at the hospital, first contact by email is probably best.
On the basis of your consultations with the above faculty please put together a plan of electives so I can approve your program.
