Protein and Cellular Engineering

Making molecular vehicles to track, alter traffic Think of the thousands of protein molecules active in a cell as varied types of cars and trucks driving along our complex biological highways. Enzymes are like sports cars, accelerating chemical reactions. Membrane transporters are like trucks, moving molecules and energy across borders.

Education

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry faculty members teach PhD students to think creatively and openly, and to explore ideas that cross traditional fields of study. They also prepare doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students with scientific knowledge fundamental to clinical practice.
