The department has equally strong interests in the following three areas
of research:
- Understanding the molecular mechanisms of metabolic diseases and cancer
- Developing novel strategies in biocatalysis and biotechnology
- Advancing our knowledge through structural biology and molecular biophysics

- BioChat - current issue with the latest BMBB news.
- The Hendrickson lab has recently published a paper in the June issue of PNAS on human gene targeting. Gene therapy holds the possibility of curing genetic diseases for which the gene (and responsible mutations) are known. In these cases, a wildtype copy of the gene in question would be integrated into somatic cells of a patient (knock in). Integration into a specific locus (gene targeting) would be preferred to random integration, to avoid the risk of disrupting DNA regions important for cellular function. (more)

The Kylie Walters lab (Xiang Chen, Leah Randles, Naixia Zhang) with collaborators have described a new substrate receptor in the proteasome in two Nature May 22nd manuscripts. This work considerably advances our understanding of how
the main agent of protein destruction catches its targets.
- Anja-Katrin Bielinsky has been awarded a 5-year Research Scholar Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
