Biological chemistry as well as its cognate subjects biophysical chemistry and molecular biophysics, studies the fundamental chemical principles that govern biological systems and is by definition a multi- or inter-disciplinary subject, bringing together skills and interests from both biology and chemistry. Typically this involves the application of synthetic, structural and mechanistic chemistry along with analytical, computational and biological science to tackle problems at the chemistry-biology interface.

The goals of the Planetary and Space Sciences Research Institute's postgraduate cosmochemistry programme are to undertake research projects that further our understanding of the origin of the Solar System through laboratory studies of extraterrestrial materials: meteorites, lunar samples, cosmic dust and samples returned by spacecraft. We study the processes by which planets and small bodies evolved to their present state; obtain information about the origin and formation of the Solar System and the time scales involved; and determine the past activity of the Sun.

Instrumentation involves the measurement of phenomena ranging from nano-scale molecular processes in biological cells right through to macro-scale chemical processes in industrial reactors, including environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, drug and explosive detection and molecular imaging for health-care and the life-sciences. To meet the measurement demands, research is conducted into new instrumentation exploiting a wide range of advanced chemical, biochemical and physical sensors that utilise optical spectroscopies, complex mass spectrometries such ion mobility and secondary ion mass spectrometry, laser generated ultra-sound, laser trapping, polymer microfabrication, microfluidics, optical fibre sensing and PET tomography.
