The research focus of the Biological Chemistry Division is to explore the structure and function of proteins by an integrated approach involving biophysical, biochemical, cell and molecular biological methodologies bringing together several groups of researchers with adequate and complementary expertises in these areas. Read more about the Biological Chemistry Division on the ITQB Annual Report.

Our activities broadly cover the following areas; a) Sulphate and oxygen respiration, b) NO metabolism and signalling, c) Oxidative, metals and metalloid stresses, d) Protein Structure, foldingand stability, e) Protein Modelling, and f) Proteins in Biotechnology. The groups belonging to this division are listed below.

The contact element of the Biology Division is Prof. Maria Arménia Carrondo.
