UCSF’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Graduate Program is further distinguished by providing training in the sciences related to chemical biology—integrating both with respect to atomic, molecular, and cellular levels of structure. The program provides an exciting environment for learning modern chemical principles and techniques to study significant problems at the interface of chemistry and biology.

The program focuses on five research areas:

  • Biological chemistry and synthetic biology
  • Chemical biology and molecular design
  • Computational chemistry and biology
  • Macromolecular structure function and dynamics
  • Nanomolecular design
