Our research focuses on understanding the relationships between the structure of macromolecules and their function, stability and regulation. We use an interplay of advanced methodology in molecular, structural and cell biology as well as biophysics, compound screening, computational chemistry and drug discovery applied to studies of biological systems and pathways of biomedical interest.
The Unit is composed of four groups: Ruth Brenk, Inari Kursula, Petri Kursula and Aurora Martinez. Visit the group pages to learn more about our research.
In addition, we are involved in the organization and management of the core facility for Biophysics, Structural Biology and Screening (BiSS), localized at the Department of Biomedicine.
