Biological Chemistry
We explore the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes and transform fundamental insights into new opportunities for human health, biotechnology, and sustainable innovation.
About Biological Chemistry
In the Section of Biological Chemistry, we investigate the molecular mechanisms that underpin the processes of life. Our research focuses on how proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, and metal ions interact to regulate biological functions across multiple levels, from individual molecules to complex cellular systems.
By combining advanced experimental techniques with theoretical and computational approaches, we gain insight into the structure, dynamics, and function of biomolecules. This knowledge contributes to a deeper understanding of biological processes and disease mechanisms and provides the foundation for developing new solutions in biotechnology, health sciences, and sustainable resource utilization.

Research focus
- Systems chemistry and molecular self-organization
Studies the roles of reaction networks in the emergence of life and many biological processes with their potential in biomedicine and biomaterials.
Research Groups
By integrating structural biology, spectroscopy, biochemistry, and computational methods, the research groups in Biological Chemistry seek to uncover the molecular mechanisms that govern biological function, disease processes, and biotechnological applications.
