The Center at a Glance

The research conducted by the four institutes of the Center for Biochemistry aims to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying human health and disease.

The Director of the Center is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Center and coordinates cross-institutional tasks and strategic developments. The Chair is elected every two years from among the institute directors. At the same time, a deputy is appointed to assist the Chair and serve as a substitute when necessary.
