The Finn Research Group occupies space equipped for chemical synthesis and molecular biology in the Center for Integrative Molecular Biosciences (CIMBio) building on the Scripps campus at 3215 Merryfield Row, La Jolla. The CIMBio opened in 2002, and houses a broad spectrum of research groups from three departments (Chemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology) focusing on the structures and functions of molecular machines, the evolution of enzymes, the discovery of biologically active molecules, and the development of useful tools for chemical biology.

Directions
Exit Interstate 5 at Genesee Avenue in the La Jolla area and go west off the exit ramp. Go up the hill and turn right at the second traffic light after the freeway overpass, onto John H. Hopkins Drive. Continue as the road curves to the left and ends at N. Torrey Pines Rd. Turn right (north) onto N. Torrey Pines.

Make your next right at the traffic light at Science Park Road. Go down the hill and straight onto Merryfield Row. The CIMBio building is the last one on the right, with a TSRI sign visible from the street. Our labs are on the second floor; turn left at the top of the stairs for 248 (biology and M.G.'s office); right for 256 (chemistry). Elevators are around the left side of the stairwell as you face the stairs.
