THE GRUEBELE GROUP

HOME

Welcome to the Gruebele Group! Research in our group is spread over Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Our labs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are involved in protein folding, in-cell dynamics, zebrafish locomotion, laser-assisted scanning tunneling microscopy, and classical and quantum energy- and mass-flow phenomena. We are affliated with the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, the Center for Biophysics and Computational Biology, and the Beckman Institute.
