Biochemistry Research
Biochemistry is the foundation of all cellular processes and systems. Biochemical processes account for the functions of all cellular components, from proteins to lipids and metabolites, and the formation of complex networks that make a cell or system work. Encompassing a multitude of modern techniques and approaches, the field of biochemistry has a powerful diversity that can provide a detailed, mechanistic view of cellular pathways. With a long-standing tradition in biochemistry, Princeton reflects this diversity through the multidisciplinary span of our research. State-of-the-art mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography are among the techniques utilized by our scientists to characterize cellular environments and pathways in health and disease. Our collaborative department is at the forefront of proteomics and metabolomics, which are integrated with genomics, microbiology, cancer and developmental biology, providing an opportunity for systems biology training at the interface between cellular biology and human disease.
