Center for Structural Biology (CBS)
The overall objective of CBS is to conduct cutting-edge research in structural biology, biophysics, and bioengineering to identify and characterize the fundamental mechanisms of life and their regulation, at different scales of time and space (from single molecules to living tissues and organisms) and using integrative approaches. We are particularly interested in understanding the molecular and physical determinants of these processes using state-of-the-art methodologies. We believe that the answer to these objectives involves studying the structure and dynamics of supramolecular assemblies at different scales, as well as a detailed understanding of their assembly and regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, our ambition is to study these processes in more integrated contexts such as living cells or model organisms. Where possible, we also leverage this knowledge to design new therapeutic strategies for human health and disease.
