Jianshu Cao
Professor
The Cao Group develops theoretical models for understanding the structure and dynamics of complex molecular systems.
Sylvia Teresse Ceyer
John C Sheehan Professor
The Ceyer group explores the atomic level dynamics of the interactions of molecules with surfaces of materials that serve as catalysts relevant to energy production and environmental sustainability or as templates for nanodevices.
Arup K. Chakraborty
John M. Deutch Institute Professor
The central focus of the Chakraborty Group is to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of the adaptive immune response to pathogens, and harness this understanding to help design better vaccines and therapies.
Catherine L. Drennan
John and Dorothy Wilson Professor
By combining X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy and other biophysical methods, the goal of the Drennan lab is to “visualize” molecular processes by obtaining snapshots of enzymes in action.
Danna Freedman
F.G. Keyes Professor
The Freedman Group applies the atomistic control inherent to synthetic chemistry to address fundamental questions in physics.
Robert Guy Griffin
Arthur Amos Noyes Professor
A large fraction of the Griffin Group's research effort is devoted to the development of new magnetic resonance techniques to study molecular structure and dynamics
Mei Hong
David A. Leighty Professor
The Hong group develops and applies high-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy to elucidate the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, with an emphasis on membrane proteins.
Oleta Johnson
W.R. and D.L. Young C.D. Assistant Professor
The Johnson Laboratory uses chemical and biophysical tools to understand and tune the activity of molecular chaperone proteins in protein misfolding diseases.
Heather J. Kulik
Associate Professor
The Kulik group leverages multi-scale modeling, electronic structure calculations, and machine learning for the discovery of new molecules and mechanisms in a range of materials from metal-organic frameworks to enzymes and organometallics.
Brett McGuire
Class of '43 C.D. Assistant Professor
Research in the McGuire Group uses the tools of physical chemistry, molecular spectroscopy, and observational astrophysics to understand how the chemical ingredients for life evolve with and help shape the formation of stars and planets.
Keith Adam Nelson
Haslam and Dewey Professor
Our research is aimed at time-resolved optical study and control of condensed matter structural changes and the collective modes of motion through which they occur.
Sam Peng
Pfizer-Laubach C.D. Assistant Professor
The Peng Laboratory develops optical imaging techniques and nanoprobes to enable long-term single-molecule imaging in living systems and reveal molecular interactions that are responsible for human diseases.
Gabriela S. Schlau-Cohen
Associate Professor
Research in the Schlau-Cohen group is inherently multidisciplinary and combines tools from chemistry, optics, biology, and microscopy to develop new approaches to probe dynamics.
Alex K. Shalek
J. W. Kieckhefer Professor
The Shalek Lab creates and implements new approaches to elucidate cellular and molecular features that inform tissue-level function and dysfunction across the spectrum of human health and disease.
Daniel L.M. Suess
Associate Professor
Our main objective is to understand the molecular chemistry that underlies global biogeochemical cycles, with the ultimate goal of deploying this knowledge to improve human health and positively impact the environment.
Troy Van Voorhis
Department Head, Haslam and Dewey Professor
The Van Voorhis Group is developing new methods – primarily based on density functional theory (DFT) – that provide an accurate description of excited electron motion in molecular systems.
Xiao Wang
Cabot Assistant Professor
The Wang Group develops and applies new chemical and biophysical tools to better understand the molecular events in the brain.
Adam P. Willard
Professor
The Willard Group uses theory and simulation to explore the role of molecular fluctuation in a variety of chemical phenomena.
Bin Zhang
Pfizer-Laubach C.D. Associate Professor
The Zhang Lab aims to build a global framework of the human genome that connects its sequence with structure and activity, and to enable quantitative and predictive modeling of genome structure and function.
