| Research Areas
The discovery of new scientific concepts and technologies, especially in emerging interdisciplinary fields, is the lifeblood of Rensselaer’s culture and a core goal for faculty, staff, and students.
The department sustains well-developed research programs not only in the traditional areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, but also in the interdisciplinary fields of polymer chemistry, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.
Collaborative programs with the Biology, Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematical Science departments, and the School of Engineering, the Center for Integrated Electronics and Albany Medical College provide essential connections between chemistry and other areas vital to modern society.
