Bioinformatics

To understand cellular processes at several levels we employ approaches from biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science to work on using, for example, methods of theoretical and computational analysis of biological macromolecules, including study of atomic interaction in protein and DNA structure, processes of protein folding and protein functionality, interaction of protein with ligands, and other proteins, and DNA or RNA molecules.
