Washington University in St. Louis, located in Saint Louis, Missouri, is home to the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. With a focus on understanding the molecular interactions that drive both normal physiology and disease states, the department aims to advance the field of biology through the disciplines of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Faculty and students alike thrive in the department's rich environment, which fosters growth and welcomes inquiries.
The department has recently celebrated the achievements of its graduate students, such as Jerry Wei, who is studying protein post-translational modifications and mitochondrial organellar homeostasis, and Garrett Ginell, who is applying theoretical and computational methods to understand the interactions of intrinsically disordered proteins. Jasmine Cubuk and Ankita Chadda have also made significant contributions to the field, exploring the effects of sequence composition on protein interactions and characterizing the activation mechanisms of a helicase and DNA repair protein, respectively. Through their research and publications, the department continues to make valuable contributions to the field of biochemistry and molecular biophysics.
