The Biomolecular Structures Group explores how proteins work at the molecular level, aiming to uncover the mechanisms that drive both their physiological roles and their involvement in disease. Our research bridges chemistry and biology through an interdisciplinary approach.

We investigate how small organic molecules interact with proteins, modulating their structure and function. Many of our targets are linked to pathological conditions, and their study opens opportunities for therapeutic intervention, including rational drug design.
