Exploring the molecular basis of biological processes essential in health and disease
We utilize chemical principles to advance our understanding of the mechanisms of biological phenomena. High-impact basic and translational research is being performed through the integration of chemical synthesis, structural biology, biophysical chemistry, proteomics, drug discovery and state-of-the-art instrumentation. Combination of these tools and approaches facilitates exploration and modulation of processes essential in human health and disease. See more faculty interested in this theme »

Direct Fluorescent Labeling of Live Bacterial Cells
Bacterial resistance is a rapidly emerging public health threat that underscores the need for development of novel antibiotic agents with new modes of action. The bacterial cell wall has been an attractive target for the development of antibiotics, but...
International Award for HIV-1 Research
A team led by Bogdan Dragnea has been awarded a three-year research grant by the international Human Frontier Science Program for study of processes involved in the self-assembly of HIV-1. Dragnea’s approach is to understand and interfere with the stages o...
The Pursuit of Transformational Medicines
The DiMarchi laboratory has made contributions to advance discovery and development of specific drugs, such as Humulin®, Humatrope®, rGlucagon®, Humalog®, Evista® and Forteo®. The primary focus of current research is the integration of macromolecules and c...
