Macromolecular Biochemistry

Research examines the structure and function of carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids to understand their biological roles in health and disease and to exploit them for diagnostics and therapeutics. Approaches include proteomics, x-ray crystallography, electron cryomicroscopy, computational modeling, in vitro evolution and spectroscopy.
