Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of life processes. Our research focuses on how biomolecules form, function and degrade inside cells. In short: "Cellular Biochemistry".

- Plant Development (PI: Dolf Weijers)
- Redox cell surface signalling (PI: Elwira Smakowska-Luzan)
- Proteomics / Metabolomics (PI: Jacques Vervoort)
- Protein Folding and Stability (PI: Carlo van Mierlo)
- Biomolecular Imaging (PI: Jan Willem Borst)
- Protein Structure and Function (PI: Daan C. Swarts)
Our Education
The Laboratory of Biochemistry provides a number of lecture series and practical courses for students.
