Dear members of this forum.

My name is Roberto, I am a medical doctor who wants to study and focus on quantum biology. I have this idea that the cure for a lot of diseases, specially cancer may be in the atomic level.

I am very passionate about physicis and I would like to match the best of this two subjects, but I need help, because I don´t know where to start. Every pHD or master degree I look for, they ask backgrounds in chemistry, physics or alikes...

What do you recommend? Any Ideas..
Thank you everyone in advance.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What's your math background?

Assuming what I think a medical doctor would have I would suggest the following sequence:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/046502811X/?tag=pfamazon01-20
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465036678/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Beyond that I would normally recommend Ballentine, it is, IMHO, THE book on QM, but in your case, for what you want, I am going to suggest one a bit below that graduate level textbook and suggest one by Zettili

If you want to pursue it beyond that then Ballentine would be excellent:

There doesn't seem to be too many QM Biology books - the following (soon to be released) is the best I could find:
