 Academic League of Physics Applied to Medicine

Welcome to LAFAM's channel, the Academic League of Physics Applied to Medicine at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA). We are students who believe that physics is one of the most powerful tools for understanding and transforming health sciences.
Inside the human body lies a universe of physical phenomena. Statistical physics and thermodynamics describe how order emerges from microscopic motion, enabling the modeling of proteins, cell membranes and fundamental biological processes. At other scales, X-rays reveal invisible structures, radioactivity diagnoses and treats diseases, ultrasound transforms mechanical waves into images, and biomedical signals capture what the body communicates in silence.
LAFAM exists to make these connections visible and accessible, promoting teaching, research, outreach and scientific communication for students and the general public alike.
