".... from molecules to cells"

The Department of Chemistry, now the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences, was one of the founding Departments of Macquarie University, opening its doors in 1967.

Welcome from the Head of Department

Welcome to the newly created Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences (CBMS). Our department is a merger of staff from the former Department of Chemistry and a group of staff from the biology discipline that study cells and biological processes from a molecular perspective. These two areas of the university have long traditions of teaching and research excellence. This realignment is an exciting one as it will ensure that the innovative university can maintain its high profile and success in these key disciplines of 21st century science. If you are a prospective undergraduate or postgraduate student and would like further personalised career or degree advice we would be happy for you to contact any member of academic staff listed in this site.
