Structural Biology and Biophysics

Our structural biologists and biophysicists utilize cutting edge physical techniques including cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography and specialized light microscopies to study the structure and function of key biological macromolecules. This work has led to better vaccines and therapeutics as well as a deeper understanding of the molecular underpinnings of life.
