This area explores biological problems using chemical tools and techniques, and applies biological principles to chemical synthesis.





  • Chemical Genetics and Proteomics





    • Target identification and validation for drug discovery.




    • Development and application of activity-based protein probes (ABPP).




    • Small molecule perturbation of biological pathways.






  • Bio-Organic and Medicinal Chemistry





    • Synthesis of novel anti-cancer, antiviral, and antimicrobial agents (e.g., drug candidates from natural products).




    • Design of molecular machines and devices for biological applications.




    • Peptide and nucleic acid chemistry (e.g., therapeutics like siRNAs).






  • Biophysics and Structural Biology





    • Protein folding, misfolding, and aggregation (e.g., in neurodegenerative diseases).




    • Mechanistic studies of enzyme catalysis using advanced spectroscopy (e.g., cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography).




    • Single-molecule force measurements on biological systems.






  • Biosensing and Diagnostics
