supramolecular architecture and drug discovery

The Chemical Biology group is a research group within the department of Biomedical Engineering. The group is supervized by Prof.dr.ir. Luc Brunsveld.
In this group, research deals with chemical biology approaches to study protein-protein interactions. The two general lines that are being followed are supramolecular architecture and drug discovery.
