The program highlights many of the cutting-edge research groups at UMBC with a focus on translational nanoscience. The research spans several disciplines and departments and represented the multidisciplinary research occurring on our campus. Current research efforts focus on, for example, the development of novel biosensor receptors for prolonged physiological sensing and pre-symptomatic disease diagnosis, the development of biocompatible nano-biomaterials for implantable medical devices, and the development of novel nanoparticle based theranostics to name a few. The department offers both Ph.D. and M.S. programs in Chemistry which cover the traditional sub-disciplines of analytical, biochemical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Students with an interest in biochemistry also have the option of the inter-departmental programs in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology and toxicology.
