Research

Armed with the quantitative tools integral to physics, chemistry, engineering, and mathematics, QB3's more than 180 researchers explore how biological systems work, from atoms and molecules to cells, organs, and entire organisms. Using advanced imaging, modeling, and computational tools, these scientists decipher the complex systems involved in living systems, and discover ground-breaking applications for that basic knowledge.

QB3 researchers enjoy access to world-class instrumentation, technologies, and materials located at UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, and nearby Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Access to these state-of-the-art resources enables scientists and engineers to develop devices, drugs, and therapies that save human lives, as well as technologies to prevent or mitigate environmental damage and improve energy production and use. Research areas include bioengineering and biotechnology, bioinformatics and computational biology, structural and chemical biology, experimental genomics, proteomics, and biochemistry.
