Interdisciplinary backgrounds are becoming essential because today’s biggest scientific and societal challenges don’t fit neatly inside one subject.
Problems like climate, health or the future of AI require people who can translate between fields, and who understand both the technical tools and the human consequences.
Biophysics is one of the clearest examples of this. It sits at the intersection of physics, biology, chemistry, engineering, and medicine, and it increasingly connects to policy, ethics, and law. But for many students, the path into an interdisciplinary future can feel unclear: if you’re studying physics, what do you do to build real biological depth? If you’re coming from biology, how do you gain the physicist's toolkit?
The UCL Biophysics Society exists to close that gap. We aim to promote biophysics as an exciting yet underrepresented field at UCL, while creating a welcoming platform for students exploring interdisciplinary careers. Alongside rigorous academic events (workshops, lecture series...) we will run creative science communication projects (including a biophysics fashion show) that make complex ideas accessible and memorable.
Our purpose is simple: to make biophysics understandable, interdisciplinary, and relevant to both STEM and humanities students, and to create a community that helps people confidently navigate across disciplines.
