Structural Biology Research
Members of Princeton's vibrant structural biology community—students, postdocs, and faculty—make use of a wide array of cutting-edge methods to gain insight into biological structure and mechanism. Some examples of the approaches being used, and in some cases developed, at Princeton include x-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, super-resolution optical microscopy, single-molecule methods, and computational modeling. These tools are being applied to biological problems ranging from protein folding and design, to signal transduction, to intracellular trafficking. Structural biology is an intrinsically interdisciplinary activity; Princeton provides a supportive and exceptionally collegial environment for students to receive training in these areas while, at the same time, contributing to fundamental discoveries about form and function in the biological world.
