"As an international student, IU offered me the opportunity of carrying out cutting-edge research in the Nano-Biochemistry field in a beautiful campus, with great facilities and excellent faculty. My research project is focused in the synthesis of biocompatible inorganic nanoparticles and their application as templates controlling the growth of animal virus proteins on its surface. In particular, I recommend IU Chemistry department for students interested in an interdisciplinary research environment working with faculty from different specialties."

Our department provides outstanding opportunities for advanced study in numerous fields of chemistry.  The research faculty are involved in cutting edge research, standing at the forefront of the research community, pioneering the way for students to leave-degree in hand- well prepared for careers in government, industrial research, and research and teaching positions in the academic field.

Our highly skilled professional staff is dedicated to providing and managing the department's state-of -the-art equipment and computer resources, with departmentally staffed instrument, electronics and glass shops.

Exposure to graduate research begins in the first semester of study with the C500 Introduction to Research course. Our alternative mechanism for introducing the new graduate student to research is what distinguishes Indiana University from other chemistry graduate programs.

The 'C500' experience allows you to test your abilities and interests, and you will get first hand knowledge of your chosen research group, as well as an introduction to the department's instrumentation, facilities, and services. At the end of the spring semester of your first year, you may choose to continue working in the same research group, or you may decide to conduct the remainder of your graduate research career under a different mentor.
