Advancing fundamental bioscience and technology development

MIB’s success is built upon our ability to understand the structures and functions of biological systems at the molecular level using a portfolio of advanced analytical techniques and high-throughput screening technologies.

This fundamental understanding allows us to discover, design and engineer new functional proteins (e.g. enzymes, materials, therapeutics), genomes and cells for a wide range of applications.

Selected research topics include:

  • Discovery and understanding of new enzymes and functional proteins
  • Design and engineering of artificial enzymes using deep learning
  • High-throughput analysis of protein structure and function
  • Synthetic genomics and genome refactoring
  • Understanding microbial communities
  • Development of advanced diagnostics
