proteins

Professor

I am interested in building proteins in living cells using new amino acids. By designing novel properties into the new amino acids, my lab probes biological processes in their native settings and engineer unique biomolecules to understand disease mechanisms and to develop new protein drugs.

Department Chair and Professor

I coordinate the School’s broad research efforts, aiming to catalyze collaborations across labs, departments, the university, and outside institutions. Additionally, I aim to improve the evaluation of research in hiring and promotion and ensure that our research agenda aligns well with staff and...

Professor

My research seeks to invent approaches to engineer new biological functions at multiple scales, ranging from atomic details to macromolecular machines to cellular processes. By building new functions through a combination of computational design and experimental engineering, I also hope to learn...

Professor

My research interests focus on the development of state of the art methodologies in mass spectrometry for use in advancing our global knowledge of human biology, specifically the dynamic, epigenetic modulation and regulation of the proteome.

Vice Dean & Professor

As a faculty member in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, I develop new methods for drug discovery, adopting two strategies to do so. On the one hand, we reduce biology to its molecular components, and seek to change how these fit together using synthetic molecules we design. On the other...

Department Chair and Professor

My research focuses on the development of drug-like molecules that alter important biological processes. These molecules will help us understand human biology and may lead to the design of new drugs. I also chair the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Details: Administration.

Professor

My research focuses on small molecule and protein design as an approach to understanding macromolecule structure and function.

Associate Dean and Professor

I am interested in the structure, function, and evolution of proteins and their assemblies.
