Applied Structural Biology & Methodology

About Us

Combining state-of-the-art technologies with expert knowledge of structural biology

The Applied Structural Biology & Methodology research group units experts in different fields of research and engineering, with specific developments concentrated around the establishment of tools and methodologies for structural biology. While performing their own research, members of the ASBiM group are also taking in charge the scientific and technical support of academic and industrial users at the BL2S1 x-ray diffraction of the Aichi Synchrotron.
