Robert Phillips

California Institute of Technology

Share

Rob Phillips is the Fred and Nancy Morris Professor of Biophysics and Biology at the California Institute of Technology and co-Director of the Physiology summer course at the Marine Biology Laboratory. His research focuses on elucidating the physical phenomena of a variety of biological processes/systems, such as mechanosensation and gene regulation. He combines physical modeling with quantitative experimentation in his approaches. Along with Jane Kondev and Julie Theriot, he co-wrote the biophysics textbook, Physical Biology of the Cell, an exploration of how physics and math can be applied to understand biology at molecular and cellular levels.
