Since its establishment in 1929, this pioneer research foundation has become a leading center for research and instruction in the biochemical and biophysical aspects of medicine and biology.
Now associated with the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, the Johnson Foundation is engaged in research into the fundamentals of biological design and activity. It brings advanced chemistry and physics to biology and medicine. Molecular structure determination and molecular simulation provide critical views of biological design, engineering and assembly. A range of developing spectroscopies, protein chemistry, and molecular biological tools are directed to the understanding the bases of biological activity in recogition, signal transduction, gene regulation, energy transduction and biochemical catalysis.
Special research elective programs are open to any undergraduate, graduate, and medical student. Postdoctoral and special training programs are offered for advanced scientists.
