We stand at the frontiers of chemistry and biology, developing small molecules as chemical tools to understand and modulate complex biological systems. We utilize synthetic chemistry, biochemistry, and state-of-the art mass spectrometry to elucidate the structure, dynamics, and reactivity of poorly characterized, previously "undruggable" members of the proteome with pathological implications (e.g. cancer, diabetes, infectious diseases).

The Adibekian Lab is excited to announce its move to UT Dallas!
June 1, 2026
​
We are excited to announce that the Adibekian Lab officially relocated to The University of Texas at Dallas on June 1st. The move follows Dr. Alex Adibekian's prestigious Established Investigator Award from CPRIT, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. which recruits leading cancer researchers to the state. We look forward to contiuning our research program at UT Dallas.
