We are a young lab in the field of chemical biology and sandwiched between the Radboud University and the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences in Nijmegen (NL). We combine organic chemistry with molecular biology and biochemistry to target and answer biological questions related to autoimmune- and protein misfolding diseases.
