Computational Chemistry and Biology
Computational chemistry and biology is an integral part of modern chemistry and biology with broad applications in chemical and biochemical research, and chemical industry, biomedicine, pharmaceutical industry, and material industry. This program offers an opportunity to those graduate students who are interested in this important area to learn some useful theories and practical skills in different sub-areas of Computational chemistry and Computational biology, such as quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, biological models, and bioinformatics, to help their future research and career development. Courses of this program can be transferrable to several graduate degree programs as either core or elective courses to help broaden students’ choices should they continue the graduate education in various fields, including Master of Science - Chemistry, Master of Science – Chemical Biology, and PhD in Chemistry or Chemical Biology.
