Question

is there any interdisciplinary fields that involve quantum mechanics and biology?

Maybe gray goo

Answer 2

In a way yes. For example it has been recently found that photosynthesis uses quantum mechanics to make its process more efficient http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/41632. Also, it has been proposed to try and detect quantum mechanical effects in viruses (using them as macro-objects) http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/40376 See attached paper for a more technical version of the experimental outline. The proposal has been taken further by proposing to use Tardigrades (AKA Waterbears) to investigate quantum effects on macroscopic living entities.

There is even atempts to understand birds magnetic navigation at the quantum level http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-01-quantum-robins.html

While not really interdisciplinary as such, it does show that there is some cross over when it comes to quantum mechanics (at least in physicists stepping into the biological realm).

Then of course, as an after thought, you have medical physicists, who use radiation etc to treat illnesses, such as cancer, or design MRI scanners for medical imagining (and MRI works upon a quantum mechanical principals of the atomic nucleus), as well as PET scanners etc.

Oops forgot to attach the paper

Answer 4

Another point I can add is nanotechnology. Nanobiotechnology is a field that incorporates physics at a small scale (QM in other words) with biology. I'm guessing you don't live in the same country as me, but here's a link to my universities micro-nano tech department: http://www.mnt.metu.edu.tr/

As you can see there's nanobiotech, and I think you can find it in universities in your country as well. Just googling it is enough. (I found this as the top link for example: http://inbt.jhu.edu/ )
