The Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics (BMBB) comprises faculty from the Medical School and the College of Biological Sciences who are committed to understanding the molecular mechanisms of metabolic diseases and cancer; developing novel strategies in biocatalysis and biotechnology; and advancing knowledge through structural biology and molecular biophysics. Multiple research opportunities allow BMBB faculty to interface with a variety of other basic science and clinical faculty within the university and the scientific community.

Our Faculty
Our faculty come from both the University of Minnesota Medical School and College of Biological Sciences and hold affiliations with many other academic institutions. They are internationally recognized researchers in many areas such as structural biology and biophysics, the molecular basis of metabolic and autoimmune disease, metallobiology, environmental biotechnology, and genome maintenance.
