I don't think Manchester University did a biophysics degree course at that time. I was there a few years before and they did BSc courses in physics, chemistry, biology and biochemistry. Her research paper published mention the Department of Chemistry, not Physics. See here: http://www.hep.manchester.ac.uk/u/forshaw/gailpaper.pdf
I suggest this is made clear in the article. Perhaps one could argue the research has an element of physics to it, but the term could be misleading in that chemistry itself does as well. Chemistry is all about molecules so 'molecular' is somewhat redundant. Biochemistry is the normal description.2.97.38.176 (talk) 19:16, 2 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
this is gail here. I did a chemistry degree at manchester with a physics option, In case of interest I received a first class honours and the Royal Society of Chemistry's Best Chemist Award in my graduating year and the Mercer Prize for Best Chemist entering research, as well as the Sunderland Prize for Organic Chemistry and the Haneef prize for structural chemistry. I also had a Welcome Scholarship for work in a lab one summer of my studies and later a fellowship to travel and research in India, where I was based in the molecular biophysics unit. I mention this to clarify why I say my PhD is in Molecular Biophysics (not my undergraduate degree). My studies were not about chemical but physical change and they were studies of large bio molecules and the physical processes of non chemical change binding, specially using molecular dynamics simulations. Biochemistry would not be an accurate description of the main thrust of the science I have participated in. http://mbu.iisc.ac.in/index.html
I have deleted the screenshot as there is zero need to document that vandalism here for posterity; it got reverted by Cluebot straight away. Schwede6613:02, 11 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
