About the course

Our faculty and students are on the front line of this exciting field, developing new techniques and integrating modern chemical methods to understand biological problems at the molecular level. Recent technological breakthroughs present spectacular new opportunities to address problems in pharmacology, cell biology, structural biology, and medicine. State-of-the-art facilities in structural biology make the University of Minnesota an excellent choice for the biological chemist who wishes to correlate detailed molecular structure with biological function. Our graduate students are central to both our educational and research missions and are our most valuable assets. We have much to offer: our excellent faculty members who are leading researchers in their fields, our sophisticated state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities, collaborative and interdisciplinary research opportunities, and unique environment of empowerment where you can contribute to and lead your own learning. Our goal is to help you develop as chemists, teachers, scholars and leaders by providing a supportive and stimulating academic environment with world-class resources and outstanding training and leadership opportunities. While modern research in chemistry is very interdisciplinary, graduate work in the Department of Chemistry falls broadly into the focus areas of analytical chemistry, chemical biology, environmental chemistry, inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, experimental physical chemistry, and computational chemistry.
