The Analytical Chemistry Division at the UWM advances the science of chemical measurement through the development of innovative analytical methods, including environmentally sustainable separation technologies and mass spectrometry–based biomolecular analysis.
The Biological Chemistry & Structural Biology Division uses recombinant DNA technology, crystallography, NMR, EPR, UV/vis, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopy to understand how macromolecular complexes catalyze life’s most critical chemical reactions.
The Chemistry Education Research (CER) division brings together faculty who study how chemistry is taught and learned across educational contexts. Our work examines student reasoning, instructional design, assessment, and the broader structures that shape chemistry education.
Inorganic chemistry is a diverse area that explores the structures, properties, and reactivity of compounds that contain transition metals. Bioinorganic chemistry focuses the study of inorganic chemistry to metals found in proteins and cofactors bridging inorganic and biochemistry.
