520 3 _aBiophysics of the Senses connects fundamental properties of physics to biological systems, relating them directly to the human body. It includes discussions of the role of charges and free radicals in disease and homeostasis, how aspects of mechanics impact normal body functions, human bioelectricity and circuitry, forces within the body, and biophysical sensory mechanisms. This is an exciting view of how sensory aspects of biophysics are utilized in everyday life for students who are curious but struggle with the connection between biology and physics.
545 _aTennille D. Presley, PhD, is a tenured Associate Professor at Winston Salem State University (WSSU). She received her PhD from The Ohio State University and was the first African-American to graduate from the biophysics program. She joined WSSU in 2010 and was recently Visiting Faculty at Brookhaven National Laboratory. She has published more than a dozen articles in free radical research and her current research involves investigating the effect of thermodynamics on free radicals and proteins in a state of vascular dysfunction.
