Structural Cell Biology
Structural cell biology of biomachinery and self-assembling materials will yield biomedical applications as well as inform the quest for nanomachines of artificial manufacture. While this exciting human quest is just beginning, Nature, we must remember, has had millions of years to evolve efficient nanodesign concepts! By exploring the operation of time-tested biological nanomachines, research in the Department of Biological Sciences will inspire and inform scientists developing man-made nanobots.
