Our department has about 500 members serving as faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, instructors, and core staff members. Many of our faculty have dual appointments with the departments of physics or molecular and cellular biology, other Harvard schools like the School of Engineering and Applied Science, or research institutions, including the Wyss Institute and Broad Institute and Boston-area hospitals.

Our Faculty

With expertise in disciplines ranging from quantum mechanics to genetic engineering and super-resolution imaging technologies, our faculty come together to create an interdisciplinary space ideal for tackling today's challenges in chemistry and chemical biology with fresh, creative perspectives.
