This department's research explores fundamental inquiries, such as the regulation of mammalian immune responses, the process of retrovirus maturation, and the involvement of metal ions in Alzheimer's disease development. Concurrently, clinically relevant studies are underway, including the creation of anticancer therapeutics and the engineering of retroviral maturation inhibitors. Multiple research teams employ diverse methodologies to investigate the structure and function of proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. These investigations range from advanced technological methods like NMR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography to conventional organic and physical chemistry techniques.
