Dr. David P Goldberg's lab at Johns Hopkins University focuses on studying how certain metal-containing enzymes activate oxygen and oxidize various substrates. By creating synthetic versions of these enzymes, the lab aims to better understand the chemical processes involved in important biological reactions that can impact human health, including those related to diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

Dr. Marc M. Greenberg's lab at Johns Hopkins University focuses on the chemistry of nucleic acids, particularly how they get damaged and the biological consequences of that damage. The lab combines techniques from organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology to explore the mysteries surrounding DNA damage and devise new chemical tools to investigate cellular processes. This research could provide insights into diseases like cancer and lead to the development of new treatment strategies.
