Research in the Biomedical Sciences covers many scales of organization, from small molecules, supramolecules, proteins and nucleic acids to cells, cell assemblies and whole organisms. At the NAT School, we investigate protein and nucleic acid structures to understand their function and roles in disease mechanisms. We also develop small molecules and proteins that may lead to novel drugs. Creating new theranostic platforms against diseases with unmet need is a focus, together with the development of materials for drug delivery. Novel imaging techniques and  research on organoids have great potential for medical applications.
