Chemical and Pharmaceutical Biology

We are an enthousiastic group of researchers from different parts of the world. The head of our research department is Professor Wim Quax.

What kind of research?

The cell as producer and target for pharmaceuticals is the main part of our research. A great part of the research projects is done in collaboration with research labs and industries across Europe.

The research of the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Biology basic unit can be divided into the following four research lines:

• Gene Therapy
• Medicinal Chemistry en Chemical Biology
• Plant Biotechnology
• Molecular Biology
