Metabolism

All chemical processes in living organisms that maintain life, including catabolic (breaking down) and anabolic (building up) reactions.

Pesticide and Herbicide Design

The design and development of chemicals to control unwanted organisms, such as weeds (herbicides) and pests (pesticides), in agriculture.

Clinical Diagnostics

Techniques for diagnosing diseases and monitoring patient responses to treatment.

Metabolic Disease Management

Strategies to treat disorders of metabolism through medical, dietary, and pharmacological interventions.

Drug Design

The process of discovering and optimizing new therapeutic compounds with desirable biological activity.

Gene Expression

The process by which genetic information is used to synthesize RNA and proteins, regulated by cellular conditions.

mRNA Vaccine Technology

A vaccine approach using messenger RNA to instruct cells to produce an antigen and trigger an immune response.

Phylogenetics

The study of evolutionary relationships among organisms using genetic data, tracing lineage and changes over time.
