Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes that occur within, and in relation to, living organisms. Structural and functional analysis crontributes to further understanding of how living organisms sustain themselves. Our Biochemistry division studies macromolecules that pave way for research involving drug development, energy and food sustainability, signal transduction, and other biomedical topics.

Chemistry Education is a field of chemistry research and practice that examines the facilitators and barriers to learning chemistry. By integrating the theories and tools of psychology, sociology, and education with chemistry content, chemistry educators develop a specialized skill set for observing and shaping how learners learn chemistry at all levels, from elementary school students to graduate students. Understanding scientific principles has grown more and more important not just for those specifically in science professions, but also for the global human race. Work in chemistry education can shape how we teach these principles both inside and outside the classroom and positively impact how people understand the chemical nature of the universe.

Inorganic Chemistry (Be it catalysts, dye sensitizers for solar cells, or active sites of metalloproteins, inorganic chemistry has long had a focus on application. Here at Loyola, we continue in this tradition, with studies on magnesium dependent signaling proteins, charge transfer of molecular switches at interfaces, or transition metal based medicinal compounds).
(Materials chemistry's focus on how structure and reactivity dictates function within materials manifests itself in a range of research projects here at Loyola. Our faculty specialize in interfacial chemistry on electronic and catalytic materials and the industrial implications of these systems).

Organic Chemistry is foundational for understanding biochemistry and life processes. Using the tools of synthetic organic chemistry, we can design and synthesize new molecules with properties that can be fine-tuned for applications in pharmaceutical drug discovery, electronic devices, energy storage, and analytical detection. Thoroughly understanding organic and organometallic reaction mechanisms enables us to optimize industrially-important reaction processes for greater selectivity and efficiency, and leads to the design of and greener catalysts for preparing value-added materials. Organic chemistry lends itself to collaborative efforts along with our counterparts in materials chemistry, surface chemistry, and nanochemistry, as well as in biochemistry and protein structural chemistry.

Physical Chemistry is one of the fundamental disciplines in the molecular sciences. It is not as visible in everyday life as biochemistry and organic chemistry. Pchem is nonetheless important to all chemistry disciplines for the tools and ideas it develops. Research in physical chemistry lies at the interface of chemistry and physics and uses mathematics for a language and computation to smooth the way. Both modern day and yesteryear research can be divided roughly into three parts: thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and kinetics. There is a bridge connecting the parts by way of statistical mechanics. In the Department of Chemistry at Loyola University Chicago, all three parts plus the bridge are represented in student groups headed by Professors Florian, Graham, and Killelea.
