We aim to usher in a new era of functional biology, moving from a descriptive picture of life sciences to a quantitative understanding using chemical principles. Our creative, innovative approaches at discipline interfaces develop impactful solutions to pressing societal challenges.

Taking a whole-scale view to understanding how molecules generate cellular life, we combine chemical and synthetic biology with biophysical, computational and synthetic chemistry.
