Since its inception in 1950, the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has maintained a vibrant and collaborative environment for multi-disciplinary research in
areas bridging chemistry and biology. Though strong support from funding agencies including CIHR, NSERC, NCIC, and the
MSFHR, our 21 faculty members and 12 associate members have established leading research programs in areas including:
- structural biology and molecular biophysics
- signal transduction
- gene expression, chromatin structure, and the regulation of transcription and translation
- protein trafficking and secretion
- membrane biology
- enzymology
- proteomics and degradomics
- chemical biology and drug development
- disease mechanisms related to vision, diabetes, cancer, and bacterial pathogenicity
