Chemistry and Biochemistry
In the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Regina, we provide quality education opportunities through dedicated classroom teaching, hands-on laboratory experience and innovative research programs. Our department offers BSc, BSc Honours, MSc, and PhD degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Interdisciplinary research areas in our department include:
Biochemistry: elucidating biosynthetic pathways by understanding enzyme mechanisms.
Biophysics: using microscopy and biochemistry to understand the structure and function of cellular membranes.
Computational Chemistry: simulating catalytic systems with molecular dynamics simulations.
Environmental Analytical Chemistry: identifying and quantifying pesticides in our environment.
Photochemistry: developing photochromic materials and photoresponsive nanoparticles.
Synthetic Chemistry: developing catalysts using organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry.
Systems Biology: characterizing comprehensive networks of protein-protein and gene-gene interactions to identify therapeutic treatments for disease.
