Best Universities for Biophysics in Asia

Updated: February 29, 2024

Ranking by academic field

Below is a list of best universities in Asia ranked based on their research performance in Biophysics. A graph of 7.98M citations received by 319K academic papers made by 715 universities in Asia was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
