Charles Deber has advanced the application of chemical and biophysical techniques to molecular medicine, thereby increasing our understanding of the structural implications underlying diseases involving membrane proteins. His group employed designer linear and cyclic peptides, and libraries of mutant viral proteins, to elucidate fundamental features of peptide/protein structure in membrane environments.
