Welcome from the Chair
Chemistry and chemical biology play a critical role in creating solutions for society’s big challenges in health, environment, energy and materials. By exploring the fundamental reactions and interactions in materials and molecules – biological, organic or inorganic – we learn how to change, improve and preserve our world.
In our undergraduate Chemistry & Chemical Biology programs, we offer our students a personalized, inquiry-driven, research-focused learning experience. Our instruction is based in both the theories and applications of chemistry and chemical biology.
Our Chemistry and Chemical Biology graduate programs are student-focused, highly streamlined programs designed to empower and prepare trainees for careers in industry, academia or government. Students gain the confidence and skills needed to secure competitive positions in all the fields that chemistry and chemical biology touch.
