TUM Center for Functional Protein Assemblies (CPA)
Innovations for Health and Sustainability
The CPA is dedicated to reveal the functional roles of protein-protein interactions in biological processes and to precisely engineer them in synthetic biomolecular systems. Through advanced techniques in structural biology, biophysics, biochemistry, and AI, we aim to drive discoveries in drug design, disease mechanisms, and biotechnology innovation.
