Research

OHSU Marquam Hill Campus

The interdisciplinary CPB department excels at making discoveries from the atomic level to intact organisms. Our department is built on four thematic pillars: Structural Biology, Biochemistry, Chemical Biology, and Physiology. In addition, the department is physically and organizationally connected to four core facilities (Medical ChemistryBiophysicsNMR and Proteomics). Other core facilities are available on campus. Focal points of the department are G-protein coupled and hormone receptors, ion channels, neuroendocrinology, electrophysiology, cryo-EM techniques, protein labelling techniques, homeostasis of pancreas cells, lipids in pathogenesis, signaling in the eye, heart muscle recovery after an infarct, non-coding RNA function, cancer pharmacology, and intracellular imaging.
