Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular Biology/Biophysics
Welcome to the Biophysics taskforce of WikiProject Molecular Biology.
If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the talkpage of WikiProject Molecular Biology, the centralized point for discussion, thank you.
Welcome to WikiProject Biophysics. Several Wikipedians, initially from the
Scope
Biophysics can be described as a branch of science that applies techniques from physics to the study of biology. This project will primarily cover articles about subject-area results and methods in biophysics, but also general overviews, history, organizations, and people.
Goals
- Improve articles related to biophysics topics
- Provide a place where editors interested in biophysics can work together and coordinate
- Improve the categorization of biophysics topics
History

In 2014, WikiProject Biophysics persuaded
Biophysical Society Wiki editing Contest
From 2012 to 2014, the Biophysical Society sponsored contests for the most improved biophysics-related articles, image collections, or other contributions to Wikipedia or Commons, or other relevant progress. The

New articles
Please feel free to list new Biophysics-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,500 characters of prose, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.
