The set-up at the Institute of Biomedical
Sciences (IBMS), Academia Sinica is akin to that at the National
Institutes of Health in the U.S.. One of the aims of IBMS is to provide a
favorable research climate and in-depth training of scientists interested
in biomedical sciences. Our computational biophysics group is part of the
Structural Biology program which includes protein and peptide design, NMR,
X-ray, optical spectroscopy and bioinformatics.
