Molecular Interactions

Understanding how molecules interact with one another, including the forces and energies involved in these interactions, is crucial for various scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, and materials science, as it helps explain processes such as enzyme activity, drug-receptor binding, protein-protein or protein-nucleic acid interactions, and the formation of complex molecular structures. The faculty in the department that study molecular interactions offer training in a wide variety of biochemical and biophysical techniques to explore molecular interactions that are critical to answer questions related to cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, infectious disease, and more.
