Sample interview questions: Have you ever worked on interdisciplinary projects involving physics and biology or medicine?
Sample answer:
Interdisciplinary Projects Involving Physics, Biology, and Medicine
Yes, I have extensive experience working on interdisciplinary projects involving physics, biology, and medicine. My expertise in physics, particularly in biophysics and medical physics, has enabled me to collaborate effectively with biologists and medical professionals on a range of projects.
Here are some examples of my interdisciplinary work:
- Developing novel imaging techniques for disease diagnosis: I collaborated with biologists and medical doctors to develop and apply advanced imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic imaging, for non-invasive disease diagnosis in fields such as oncology, ophthalmology, and cardiovascular medicine.
- Designing therapeutic devices for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine: I worked with biologists and engineers to design and optimize therapeutic devices, such as tissue scaffolds and drug delivery systems, for tissue regeneration and repair. My expertise in physics helped optimize the physical properties of these devices for improved cell… Read full answer
