Welcome to the Chen lab, a part of the department of biology at Indiana University Bloomington located in beautiful southern Indiana. Our major research interest is to understand the roles of protein-protein interactions in specific cellular processes, to elucidate the structural basis underlying specific protein functions, and to provide mechanistic insights into modulations of biological functions, using an array of biochemical and biophysical techniques, including molecular biology, combinatorial biology, and X-ray crystallography.

The members of our group have diverse background including biology, biochemistry and chemistry, forming a truely dynamic reseach team. Students and postdoctoral fellows with appropriate background are highly welcome to apply for positions in the group at any time.
