About the Institute

Institute of Biophysics in Ljubljana is a leading research laboratory for experimental and theoretical biophysics in Slovenia. Our research ranges from the biophysics of lipid membranes and living cells to the physics of complex fluids and microfluidics. Our interdisciplinary team consists of experimental and theoretical physicists and cell biologists. The research infrastructure of the institute includes a range of optical microscopes (confocal, EPI fluorescence, polarizing), optical tweezers, a cell laboratory and a microfluidics laboratory.
