Students who join this training group work with a diverse group of faculty that apply chemical-based approaches to further the understanding of living systems. Fundamental and technical advances in chemistry, biochemistry, and structural and molecular biology over the past several decades have provided unprecedented opportunities to probe living systems at a molecular level. These advances have led to the development of a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field - Chemical Biology. Within the Chemical Biology training group, students apply groundbreaking chemical methodology to the elucidation of essential biological processes. Additionally, students that have identified new biological targets will drive the development of unique chemical entities. All students receive broad training at the interface of chemistry and biology, allowing the student to master the concepts needed for success in this multidisciplinary area of research.
Training Groups are topic-oriented research groups consisting of faculty from multiple departments.
Training groups are an administrative home for PULSe students, a student choice that impacts
curriculum and research training activities.
