Helen Blackwell
Professor, Department of Chemistry
The Blackwell lab studies chemical communication between bacteria and develops chemical strategies to intercept these pathways
Andrew Buller
Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry
We are engineering enzymes to catalyze new reactions in vivo and studying their properties with kinetics, spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
Judith Burstyn
Professor, Department of Chemistry
We study heme-mediated allosteric regulation in small molecule-sensing proteins using bioinorganic and biophysical techniques.
Silvia Cavagnero
Professor, Department of Chemistry
We explore the fundamental principles of protein folding and aggregation in the cell, focusing on the role of the ribosome, molecular chaperones and nascent-protein dynamics.
Josh Coon
Professor, Department of Chemistry
We develop and apply mass spectrometric technology to study human health.
Katrina Forest
Professor of Bacteriology and Biophysics
We study structures, functions, and mechanisms of bacterial proteins important for physiology and symbiosis using crystallography, microbiology, and (bio)chemical tools.
Ying Ge
Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry
We develop ultra high-resolution mass spectrometry-based top-down proteomics and metabolomics technologies for cardiac systems biology and precision medicine.
Samuel Gellman
Professor, Department of Chemistry
We study the structures and functions of proteins and protein-inspired molecules. Biology gives us the former; the latter we invent.
Katherine Henzler-Wildman
Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry
We study the molecular mechanisms of transporters and ion channels using NMR spectroscopy, functional assays, and chemical and biophysical tools
Aaron Hoskins
Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry
We are interested in understanding pre-mRNA splicing and post-transcriptional gene regulation using chemical, biological, and physical tools.
James Keck
Professor, Department of Biomolecular Chemistry
Research in the Keck lab examines the structural mechanisms that drive DNA replication, replication restart, recombination, and repair reactions.
David Lynn
Professor, Department of Chemistry
We design new types of smart and responsive soft materials, including polymers, surfactants, surfaces, and interfaces that interact with biological systems.
Jeffrey Martell
Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry
My group aims to develop hybrid synthetic/biological catalysts that mimic natural enzymes while exhibiting superior stability and chemical reactivity.
Dave Pagliarini
Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry
We integrate large-scale approaches with classical biochemistry/chemical biology to study the modulation and basic metabolic function of mitochondria.
Vatsan Raman
Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry
We design small molecule biosensors for synthetic biology by computational protein design, multiplexed cell-based screening and deep sequencing.
M. Thomas Record
Professor, Department of Biochemistry
We study RNA polymerase as a chemical and physical machine in transcription initiation, and study solute-solute interactions to interpret solute effects on protein processes.
Alessandro Senes
Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry
We are interested in understanding the chemical forces that modulate the interactions of membrane proteins.
Lloyd Smith
Professor, Department of Chemistry
We develop powerful new mass spectrometic tools for the comprehensive elucidation of proteoforms and proteoform families in biological systems.
Weiping Tang
Professor, Department of Chemistry
We are interested in developing new chemical reactions for carbohydrate synthesis and novel chemical tools to induce protein ubiquitination and subsequent degradation.
Martin Zanni
Professor, Department of Chemistry
Cutting-edge laser spectroscopy, such as 2D-IR spectroscopy and imaging, to advance difficult problems in biophysics and structural biology.
