Biological
In the mid-1970's Penn State Chemistry made a strategic decision to move towards the new interdisciplinary area of biological chemistry. Our biological program continues to be a great strength with current research in the areas of Bioanalytical, Bioinorganic, Biological Structure & Function, Biomaterials, Biomedical, Bioorganic and Biophysical chemistry and Enzymology. Many of the faculty are involved in the interdisciplinary Huck Institutes of Life Sciences.
