Summary

he Chemistry Research Group conducts fundamental and applied research in a variety of areas, and many of the research projects have strong connections with Chemical Biology. The sustainable development and application of chemistry is a common theme in our research, which drives many of our projects in green chemistry and energy, molecules of medicinal and biological interest, biophysical and protein chemistry, enzyme catalysis, and chemical characterization. Research efforts in these areas, for example, resulted in the development of new medicines and new chemical tools for studying biological molecules and processes, and molecular interactions. Through these research activities the next generation of scientists receive a training in fundamental and cutting edge theory, together with modern practical laboratory techniques and skills.
