Chemistry and Biochemistry Department faculty research contributes to traditional as well as growing science fields -- from biotechnology to polymers to pharmaceuticals to medical technology and beyond. Research is funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, U.S. military, or private industry. Robust faculty research programs provide opportunities for co-authorship with Cal Poly graduate and undergraduate students.
