Welcome to CMPS, The Center for Molecular Protein Science

CMPS, the Center for Molecular Protein Science, includes two departments at Lund University: Biochemistry and Structural Biology *
and Biophysical Chemistry.

Research at CMPS covers the molecular properties, structure, function, and interactions of proteins and other biomolecules.
Our strength as a centre lies in the breadth in our areas of expertise, in the methodologies used and in the scientific questions we address.

* From the first of January 2010 the Department of Biochemistry and the Department of Molecular Biophysics have merged to form the new Department of Biochemistry and Structural Biology.
