In recent years, along with the Physics, its application in biomedical field becomes one of the most important and forefront fields. The application of Physics to life/ medical science has opened entire new branch of Physics in biomedical applications. The branch holds the promise of many breakthroughs that may possibly change the course of future medical advances and our insight. It has been observed that properties such as electronic structure, reactivity, conductivity, melting temperature, optical properties and mechanical properties change as the particles become smaller than a critical size. This dependence of property on size allows for the engineering of nanostructures with varied properties with applications in producing stronger and lighter materials for advanced drug delivery system, tailor-made therapy in pharmaceuticals, piezoelectric materials for wound healing, magnetic materials for hyperthermia, the focused impendence spectroscopy for diagnosis, Materials for Implant Applications, Biomedical Instrumentation, Biosensors, Medical Imaging Techniques, development of multifunctional nanoparticles for cancer therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, DNA transfection, and enzyme immobilization, etc are few of the prominent thrust areas of Applied Physics in Medical applications.

Masters Program in Physics (Solid state Physics) will provide students to understand the current concepts and prospect of world of Medical Instrumentation for diagnosis, Nanoscience with hands-on experience for treatment of various diseases. The course structure and the syllabi has been tailor made with the aim to enable the student acquire a holistic and inter-disciplinary view of the subjects and their inter-relationship along with the application of the knowledge gained in one course on another. This Program would prepare the students for research in application of Physics in technological and biomedical field by opening more job opportunities.
