• Chemical Biology is an emerging discipline that sits at the interface of traditional chemistry and biology.
  • It draws on the tools and ideas of modern physical sciences and applyies them to the solution of biological problems at the molecular level.
  • This is a discipline that is perfectly poised to address the next great challenge in biological science – to understand how gene products are used in and interact with the cellular environment.
  • The research element provides physical scientists with the ability to bridge disparate fields and gain the confidence to grapple with biomolecular research in a multidisciplinary environment.
