Importance of Biomolecular Measurement
The large size and complexity of biomolecules mean their activities, distributions, compositions and structures are subject to change with their environment and vary as a function of time. Such changes may contribute to disease or be linked to the reduced efficacy of therapeutics or biodetection methods.
What we do
- Study and measure biomolecules in solution, in cells and in tissues.
- Extract new understanding and test hypotheses through measurement.
- Examine the benefits of different measurement techniques.
- Make measurement tools and methods more robust, comparable, sensitive, specific and accurate.
