Chemistry Research Strategy @ UCC
Although the traditional divisions of physical, organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry are well represented within the department, we find that the interdisciplinary nature of our research is better grouped into broader, interdiciplinary research themes. Based on the interests of our academic staff, we have strategically focused our research on the three themes of
Environmental Chemistry,
Materials Chemistry, and
Pharmaceutical Chemistry. The figure below helps to visualise the multiple, complex interactions both within the department, and between the chemistry department and the research institutes at University College Cork.
