Research within the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry covers a wide spectrum of topics. We are particularly strong in synthetic chemistry, biological and medicinal chemistry, imaging and sensing, main group chemistry, and femtochemistry.
In 2020, Nature Index ranked NTU 23rd among worldwide academic institutions in chemistry research.
We are housed in one of the world's best chemistry buildings, equipped with state-of-the-art instruments including seven high-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers, an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (ESR) spectrometer, a confocal microscope, three X-ray diffractometers, and a range of mass spectrometers, Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs), and other instruments. These facilities are accessible not only to postgraduate researchers, but also to undergraduates
