This project will merge biological and chemical compound libraries to target so-called “undruggable” proteins. Congratulations to our co-director Christian Heinis!
The NCCR Chemical Biology is proud to announce a new open access publication in Cell Reports stemming from the collaboration of 3 NCCR labs (Manley, Roux and Matile). Interdisciplinary collaboration strikes again!
An interdisciplinary team of NCCR members has been able to follow precisely the path taken by a motor protein in cells, paving the way for the study of the transport activity and distribution of cargoes in cells.
The NCCRs have joined forces in a national campaign showing how women have come to occupy a central place in research in almost all scientific fields.
Excellence in Research,
Interdisciplinarity,
New Chemical Tools, Education & Screening Platform for Switzerland.
The NCCR Chemical Biology is an internationally recognised centre of excellence in research in a new interdisciplinary field: chemical biology.
Our mission is to develop new tools and approaches derived from chemistry in order to understand, visualize and control biological processes. We are also engaged in a platform for chemical screening aimed at developing a new generation of molecules with biological effects.
We also organize a Master programme in Chemical Biology, covering molecular and cellular biology, organic chemistry as well as biophysics at the University of Geneva and the EPFL.
