PrincetonUniversity                   Scott Perkins (photo by Susan Geller) is one of the seniors studying biophysics in a program that will benefit from a recent $1.9 million grant made by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to support undergraduate education at Princeton.      The grant includes approximately $740,000 for the undergraduate certificate Program in Biophysics. Now in its second year, this program offers a curriculum that integrates molecular biology and physics, without giving either discipline superficial treatment, says director Edward Cox, Edwin Grant Conklin Professor of Biology.      The program is designed to prepare a new generation of scientists for the "postgenomics world" that will arrive within a few years when the mapping of the human genome is complete, he explains.
