Chemical biology explores the core principles behind intricate chemical and physical interactions within living systems, spanning viruses, individual cells, and complex organisms. Researchers in this field employ diverse chemical methodologies—both experimental and computational—to examine how molecules and molecular assemblies function in living systems, test tubes, and computer simulations. The curriculum includes Genetics, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Chemical Biology lectures, hands-on lab training, and research opportunities with departmental teams, equipping students for dynamic careers across scientific, technological, biological, and medical fields.
