Chemistry
Chemistry is at the heart of scientific research throughout King’s. Our research-led programmes are based around staff interests. A focus of the department is to realise the transformative power of Chemistry at the interface with Biology and Medicine. Our current research covers the breadth of Chemistry with Chemical Biology as common ground. In a successful fusion of cell biology, chemistry and physics we apply chemical approaches to gain access to the molecular mechanism of complex cell biological problems, working with the cell biologists of the Randall Division of Cell and Molecular Biophysics and the Physics Department.
