The Science of Life Starts Here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every living thing has a chemical structure. We research, experiment and pass on the knowledge we find examining all levels of biological organization \u2014 including molecular, biochemical, biophysical, structural and organismal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our work changes lives. From researching protein interactions related to Alzheimer’s disease to developing vaccines for mosquito-borne viruses, our work impacts human health and well-being around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll help you develop the critical thinking and communication skills needed to succeed in medical or graduate school and in biotech, biomedical or academic careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
