Research in Chemistry
The Section of Chemistry
We conduct research in chemistry on two of our campuses in Uppsala. On campus BMC, our general research theme is the synthesis and analysis of molecules and their assemblies. This is to understand their structural and chemical features, and their implications in life science and technology.
On campus Ångström, one of the research fields is focused on the development of renewable energy sources and energy carriers. World-leading collaborative projects map the structure of metals and chemical compounds, including those with unique catalytic activity, electrical conductivity, and the ability to store energy.
