You mean like : http://www.physics.arizona.edu/physics/research/biophysics.html

Since apparently you haven't taken the time to read it yourself, let's
recapitulate :

"Ecological and Evolutionary: dynamics of Darwinian evolution, in vitro
evolution, population
dynamics in spatially-extended systems."

"The intellectual threads that are important in biological physics include
statistical mechanics, kinetic theory, hydrodynamics, continuum mechanics,
nonlinear dynamics and colloidal physics. As such, the field is not unlike
*astrophysics*, where many different disciplines meet. Emerging experimental
techniques involving micromanipulation (e.g. optical traps), microlithography
(to create structured environments), fluorescence methods (for direct
visualization of living processes), and the like are playing an increasingly
important role in unraveling the mysteries of life."

Faculty in the Department of Physics are engaged in many of the aspects of
biological physics outlined above, often in collaboration with faculty from the
Departments of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology, the medical school, and Program in Applied Mathematics."

Now, just who are we to believe when it comes to the intellectual definition of
evolution :

Tim Kuzisaidsko, or ... The University of Arizona Graduate Program in
Biophysics.

So many choices, so much time.
