Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Members of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology subgroup investigate how biological functions are controlled through the synthesis, modification and turnover of biomolecules. Research utilizes in vitro and in vivo models of animal, plant, and prokaryotic systems to explore processes that underlie normal and diseased states.
