Research Areas and Laboratories

Although we have no departments, no chairs, and little administrative hierarchy, our scientists are loosely clustered into ten research areas representing the broad fields of study being most actively pursued.

Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemical Biology, and Structural Biology

Scientists study how molecules interact to drive biological processes such as gene regulation, signal transduction, and enzymology. Their work involves delineating the properties of molecules, molecular complexes, and cells; using chemistry tools to manipulate disease mechanisms; and determining the structures of molecular assemblies at near-atomic resolution.

Mechanisms of Human Disease

Many labs are conducting research to understand the root causes of both rare and common diseases, and developing new therapies based on their insights. Clinical science is enhanced by access to The Rockefeller University Hospital, which enables translational research involving human patients earlier than might otherwise be possible.
