About our group
Our mission is to identify and validate key biological interactions implicated in human pathologies that could be targeted in therapeutic intervention. With this goal in mind we focus on detailed understanding of molecular mechanisms of various biological processes using the means of integrative structural biology. We use structural knowledge for understanding and also modulation of biological roles of proteins and protein-protein complexes. We foster our own research projects and actively share our expertise through a number of collaborations with the scientific community mainly but not exclusively at IOCB.
