Chemistry influences nearly every part of our daily lives. It serves as the core science behind biology, healthcare, and earth and environmental studies.
Chemistry helps us understand the natural world and its transformations, with chemists examining the makeup, forms, characteristics, and interactions of materials.
Biochemistry delves into life's molecular mechanisms, investigating the chemical processes within living beings and the molecular foundations of cellular activities.
In chemistry and biochemistry studies, you'll discover how atomic arrangements determine material behaviors. You'll employ synthetic methods to create novel compounds with applications in fields like drug development and catalytic processes. You'll gain skills to measure chemical quantities and concentrations in environmental contexts including air, water, and soil analysis.
Additionally, you'll explore how biological molecules interact with each other and their surroundings. Both chemistry and biochemistry are grounded in rigorous physical and mathematical principles.
