Department of Biochemistry
A vigorous group of scientists and trainees dedicated to the expansion and transmission of knowledge about the biological world. Our particular focus is the characterization of macromolecules and biological processes at the molecular level. Research groups in the department address the structure of biological macromolecules, the mechanisms by which they function, and the possible applications to research technology and to medicine. more
Faculty Highlight
Janet Iwasa, Ph.D.
My focus is on creating dynamic molecular visualizations for research and education. I'm particularly interested in exploring how animated molecular models can be used in hypothesis generation and exploration.
