Life's Science
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology explores life's most fundamental
mechanisms in pursuit of the greater good.
From crop resilience and novel drug discovery, to biofuels and the genetics of disease,
our work aims to reshape the health of both ourselves and the world, as well as mentor
the next generation of Spartan researchers.
Reproductive Research
Breakthroughs in the Balbach Lab are helping reshape reproductive science, from improved infertility treatments to safe, nonhormonal male contraceptives.
Beating Allergies
By revealing the molecular structures of specific allergens, Maksymilian Chruszcz is achieving breakthroughs that could mean better diagnoses and first-ever medical treatments.
The Student View
Hear firsthand from Benjamin Nketsiah, a junior in BMB and founder of She’s Strong, a digital health initiative aimed at improving early breast cancer detection and patient support.
WHAT'S NEW
At MSU’s Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core, a revamped facility space and the vision of director Dr. Maryam Goudarzi are providing Spartan scientists with the tools they need to achieve cutting-edge science.
