Soft matter and biological physics: The Safran group focuses on theoretical studies of the structure, phase behavior and dynamics of biological cells and their relation to the soft matter, physical properties of membranes, macromolecules, and colloids, using the approaches of coarse-grained, statistical thermodynamics and dynamics.

Sam Safran, the founding editor-in- chief of The Biophysicist, BPS’s open access biophysics education journal, has received the prestigious distinction of Laureate of the Raymond and Beverly Sackler International Prize in Biophysics for 2022.

These findings combine knowledge of macromolecular structure, statistical mechanics of soft matter and non-equilibrium dynamics with cellular activity and function.

At the November 3, 2018, meeting of Council, Samuel (Sam) Safran was selected to serve as the first editor-in-chief of The Biophysicist, a new journal of the Biophysical Society that will focus on education issues, teaching approaches, and empirical research.

The following is a list of group members and their contact information in Prof. Samuel Safran

Sep 1, 2010 · Prof. Samuel Safran is a physicist who works with chemists, biologists, and other physicists to understand the structure and organization of soft matter and biomaterials.

Sam Szafran (19 November 1934 – 14 September 2019) [1] was a French artist. He has been buried in the cimetière parisien de Bagneux. Sam Szafran was born in Paris in 1934, a son of Polish Jewish immigrants. He grew up in the Quartier des Halles. As a child, he knew that art was what he wanted to do.

Samuel A. Safran has been a professor in the department of Materials and Interfaces at Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, since 1990 and is the first incumbent of the Steinfeld Professorial Chair. He was appointed Vice President of the Weizmann Institute in 2001 after serving as Dean of its Feinberg Graduate School for six years.
