Biochemistry

Biological chemistry, also known as biochemistry, is a scientific discipline that studies the chemical processes occurring within living organisms and their relationship to these organisms. The biochemistry research in our department is currently expanding and covers a diverse range of fascinating areas of biological research, such as biomimetic chemistry, identification of biomolecule structures, development of new therapeutics, construction of resources, exploration of natural product biosynthesis, and investigation of neural network, all based on fundamental chemical principles.

We are interested in understanding the molecular logic by which Nature generates the diversity of biomolecules and applying the acquired knowledge and tools to ...
In our laboratory, we aim to understand how the brain receives sensory information from both within and outside the body, integrates the multiple streams of inf...
Membrane receptors and channels represent the gateway through which the cell senses and responds to its environment. Most physiologically important processes ar...
The main focus of my research is the identification and development of new bioactive chemical properties, which allow us to study the complex biological system ...
In a human cell, around 20,000 different human proteins are known to be expressed. These proteins are not uniformly distributed throughout the cell, but they ar...
In the eukaryotic nucleus, DNA wraps around histone octamers to form nucleosomes. The nucleic acids and histones frequently undergo chemical modifications, and ...
Our research lies in the interdisciplinary studies of inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, protein engineering that we employ spectroscopic, kinetic, thermodynami...
