Biochemistry and Biophysics

Unlocking the secrets of life itself is the driving force behind the Salk Institute. And that starts with understanding the most basic building blocks of life, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and carbohydrates. Salk’s biochemists and biophysicists are dedicated to uncovering the structure and function of these molecules, including how they form, interact, assemble complexes, and move, as well as the roles they play in health and disease.
