Nucleic Acid Biochemistry
Nucleic acids encode the blueprints for life. Disruptions in genome integrity underlie some of the world's greatest challenges, such as cancer. Faculty in biochemistry are using cutting-edge experimental and computational methods to elucidate the dynamics of the atoms that govern structure to their organismal effects.
