Welcome to the Chinthalapudi Lab
Our team shares a passion for understanding how biomolecules shape our lives. Every day, we ask big questions about health and disease. We look for answers at the tiniest scale: inside the molecules that keep us alive.
What sets us apart is our focus on both structure and function. We use powerful tools in structural biology to see proteins in three dimensions, almost like taking molecular snapshots of life in action. But seeing isn’t enough; we also dig deep into how these molecules actually work. This combination lets us unravel not just what these proteins look like, but what they do and why it matters when things go wrong. Our discoveries have real potential to change lives by revealing new ways to understand, prevent, or treat disease.
But science isn’t just about data __ it’s about people working together. We’re proud of our unique team who support each other as much as they challenge each other. Whether you’re a prospective student, postdoc, collaborator, or simply curious about what we do, you’ll feel welcome here.
