The Palermo group uses computer simulations to characterize the mechanism of action of emerging genome editing systems that are transforming life sciences. The lab implements a multiscale approach combining molecular dynamics simulations, quantum mechanical methods, and cryo-EM processing techniques. Major interest is CRISPR-Cas systems and large macromolecular machines acting on genes.

The Takser group focuses on developing organic, small-molecule tools to solve real-world problems. We are interested in new gas-releasing molecules, which allow the delivery of reactive and/or toxic gases for various laboratory uses without needing a gas tank. In addition, we are interested in synthesizing antibacterial natural products and their derivatives to determine structure-activity relationships.
