化学涉及对固体，液体和气体的研究，以及它们相互结合所经历的转化。化学家从事观察，分析和实验，将天然物质分解成其成分，在实验室中复制物理世界中发生的化学过程，并创建满足特定需要的物质。化学发现在帮助我们了解周围世界方面发挥着重要作用。生物化学是对生物体中存在的化合物和过程进行研究的一个新兴领域，对我们诊断和治疗动物，植物和人类疾病的能力产生了越来越大的影响。特拉华大学的化学与生物化学专业受益于所有人领先的研究生研究计划的资源，以及该系对本科教育的坚定承诺。课程的多样性为学生提供了各种选择和学位选择。学院成员
Biochemistry involves the study of the chemical transformations and the intricate concert of processes that take place in living organisms. Through coursework and research in our department, our biochemistry students use a chemical lens to explore some of the most fundamental biological processes such as metabolism, protein synthesis and manipulation, large and small molecule synthesis for medicinal or therapeutic applications, human health, and beyond. Biochemists engage in observation, analysis, and experimentation with living things or chemical models of living things, breaking down natural substances into their components, replicating chemical processes that occur in the physical world, and creating substances to fulfill specific needs. Biochemistry concepts underpin many facets of human health, disease detection and prevention, and bioengineering. The multidisciplinary nature of the biochemical sciences ensures that there will be exciting job opportunities for biochemistry professionals in both traditional fields and emerging sectors such as chemical biology, nanobiotechnology, biopharmaceutical development, environmental sustainability, chemical computing, and advanced manufacturing techniques.
