Bioorganic/Bioinorganic Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty

The interface between chemistry and biology is one of the most exciting of modern science. Ever since Linus Pauling essentially invented the field, Caltech has been very strong at this interface, and it is more true now than ever. Research opportunities span the full range from highly chemical studies that model or have implications for biological systems, to detailed studies of complex systems in living organisms, but always directed toward a molecular-scale understanding.
