Results for "Biochemical Institute"

The Biochemical Institute seeks to promote biochemical research at The University of Texas at Austin. While the early work in nutrition by necessity focused on microbial studies, today’s nutritional studies can deal with human cells and the development of methods to assess an individual's metabolism and nutritional status, particularly the genetic variations of biochemical individuality impairing individual health status. Other areas of active research today include the structures of biological molecules, mechanisms of recognition and signal transduction, control and catalysis, the biochemical processes of metabolism, synthesis of biomacromolecules, and the expression of genetic information.
