Bioenergetics

The MBIB Bioenergetics Department focuses on the mechanistic studies of biological systems, especially photosynthetic and bio-inspired synthetic systems, that play a role in energy transfer and conversion, through the development and application of spectroscopy, diffraction, and imaging techniques to visualize atomic, molecular, and electronic structural level phenomena.

For more information, contact Department Head Jan Kern.
