Overview<\/h1>\n

The Center for Structural Biology combines expertise with education and state-of-the-art instrumentation to support new, as well as, experienced scientists using biophysical methods in their research.<\/p>\n

Structural biology is one of the pillars of basic biomedical research; it is indispensable for deciphering and controlling the molecular details of life processes and for understanding the differences between natural and diseased states.<\/p>\n

Seven cores: one mission.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Complement your research.<\/strong>\u00a0Define molecular mechanisms that underpin complex biological systems.<\/p>\n

Expand into new science.<\/strong> Innovate with cutting-edge instrumentation, high-quality reagents and on-site experts.<\/p>\n

Catalyze collaborations.<\/strong> Engage like-minded scientists; open to all. Any level of experience; academic and commercial.<\/p>\n
