Chemical Biology Research

Chemical Biology is a relatively new field, ranging from enzymology to medicinal chemistry, and from structural biology to proteomics. The Department of Molecular Biology has major research programs in proteomics and structural biology coupled with exciting collaborations with the Chemistry department to bring cutting edge chemical concepts and tools to bear on previously impenetrable biological systems. For example, projects range from screening for small molecules that activate or inhibit biological pathways to analyzing and modifying proteins to change epigenetic programs. Students will see an exciting new discipline evolving and will learn and practice the principles that are driving this new field.
