Chemical Biology

The Chemical Biology programme provides you with a strong foundation in chemical knowledge and skills applied to the regulation and understanding of biological systems. Furthermore, the development of a practical skill set working at the interface of chemistry and biology provides you with the ability to work with innovative and future-oriented solutions.

The programme is interdisciplinary and based on established research and educational collaborations between chemistry and biology, and in part physics.

As a student you will acquire knowledge of and gain experience with advanced experimental methods and the latest scientific discoveries in the field of chemical biology research.

After completing the programme, you will be able to employ concepts and methods within organic chemistry, spectroscopy, and cell biology, and apply them to research problems in chemical biology.

You will be able to contribute to societal progress through the development and production of medicines, drug delivery systems, and other health and biotechnology related products, thereby strengthening Denmark as a knowledge society and contributing to economic growth.

Career

As a graduate, you will be able to work in public or private research, development, production or control laboratories, in the health sector, in the chemical industry, in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, in the education sector, or in consultancy firms with a chemical or biotechnological field of activity.
