Laboratory of Structural Biology

Laboratory of Structural Biology was established in March 15, 2014 at the Kazan Federal University. 

In July 2017, the Laboratory of NMR spectroscopy of the Institute of Physics joined.

Head of laboratory: Marat Yusupov

The primary concept of our laboratory is to integrate the biological, physical, medical and pharmacological  labs at the Kazan Federal University for structural studies of biomolecules.

The laboratory was founded at the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Institute of Fundamental Medicine and Biology, KFU.
