Research Areas and Laboratories

Although we have no departments, no chairs, and little administrative hierarchy, our scientists are loosely clustered into ten research areas representing the broad fields of study being most actively pursued.

Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemical Biology, and Structural Biology
Scientists study how molecules interact to drive biological processes such as gene regulation, signal transduction, and enzymology. Their work involves delineating the properties of molecules, molecular complexes, and cells; using chemistry tools to manipulate disease mechanisms; and determining the structures of molecular assemblies at near-atomic resolution.
