Some of the most important challenges facing mankind today, such as understanding Alzheimers Disease and the evolution of "superbugs" resistant to antibiotics, are being studied in our laboratories. The latest hardware, the vast knowledge base of research group members, and the stimulating and challenging environment created for graduate students by the BMBB PhD Program, enables students to tackle whatever biological questions pose themselves during the formulation of their thesis. Weekly Structural Biology Club meetings provide a forum for students to present their research, listen and talk with visiting researchers and interact with other research lab members. Other opportunities for interaction come from more focused group meetings, such as those organized by the NMR users group and the Center for Metals in Biocatalysis. So explore the exciting, ground breaking research being conducted in our labs by looking through the Faculty links on this page, or go to our Current Students page to find out how our talented graduate students are tackling some of the most "sexy" questions in biology today using biophysical techniques.
