Research Areas
Bioenergy
The goal is to understand the principles
underlying the structural and functional design of living
systems, and develop the capability to model, predict, and
engineer optimized enzymes, microorganisms and plant
feedstocks for the production of biofuels. more
Structural Genomics
The BNL Biology Department is a partner
in the New York Structural Genomics Research Consortium
whose mission is to develop and use technology for
high-throughput structural and functional studies of
proteins. more
DNA Damage & Repair
The goal of this program is to support
research that will help determine health risks from
exposures to low levels of radiation.
more
Biodefense & Disease
Research related to the basic
understanding of microbiology, structural biology and
immunology leading to the develop-ment of vaccines,
therapeutics, and medical diagnostics important to national
biodefense.

Facilities
X-ray Crystallography
Includes 6 beam lines and support
scientists, for protein crystallography, producing the data
for nearly half of the structures in the PDB.
more
NASA Space Radiation Lab
NASA supported research facility for
studying effects of space radiation
more
UV-CD Fluorescence
Two beam lines at the NSLS that collect
UV CD and Fluorescence spectroscopy data for identifying
protein folds & protein-protein interactions.
more

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily
funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven
National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental
sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also
builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and
government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by
Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University,
the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science
and technology organization.
