Philippe F. Devaux, Ph D, is Professor of Physics at the Paris 7
University.He has long-standing expertise in teaching molecular and
cellular biophysics and physics applied to biology and medicine. He
is the author of almost two hundred scientific papers and three
books, and is an Editor of the European Biophysics Journal.
Andreas Herrmann, Ph D, is Professor of Molecular Biophysics at
Humboldt-University of Berlin. He teaches courses on the subjects
of molecular; cell; and membrane biophysics, optical spectroscopy,
and fluorescence microscopy. He is the author of more than two
hundred scientific papers focusing on lipid dynamics in biological
membranes and molecular mechanisms of virus infection.
