Research Research areas Our research areas include biological chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical & theoretical chemistry. Research divisions The RSC is organized into three broad research divisions: chemical biology, materials chemistry and chemical synthesis. Chemical Biology Biological chemistry involves the scientific study of the chemical processes in organisms. This area deals with the structure and function of cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Learn more about Chemical Biology Materials Materials chemistry: is a multidisciplinary field that transcends the traditional areas of chemistry, physics, engineering and biology. Learn more about Materials Synthesis Synthesis is the preparation of substances by way of chemical processes. Learn more about Synthesis Research areas The three research divisions encompass many chemical sub-disciplines. These areas are listed below.
