To commemorate National Chemistry Week 2022, we would like to highlight one of our chemists in the College of Science, Professor Steven Lopez, PhD.

Morgan Pfaff, who studies biochemistry, conducts biomaterial research for bone graft applications in Egan Research Center. Pfaff recently received an National Science Foundation grant.

Every movement in the human body—from lifting our arms to our beating hearts—is regulated in some way by signals from our brains. Until recently, scientists often tracked and understood that brain-body communication only after the fact, sort of like listening to a voicemail as opposed to being on a call. But researchers at Northeastern have […]

Professor Eugene Smotkin is making reusable hybrid-batteries the future of clean energy through his research, his company, and his nonprofit.

The College of Science Excellence in Teaching Awards recognize and reward outstanding NU College of Science faculty for their significant contributions to student learning. We are pleased to announce this year’s winners. Prof. Jude Mathews, Associate Teaching Professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Prof. Mathews was recognized for consistently exceptional teaching performance, extraordinary dedication […]

Kayla Mathiowetz is a Chemistry Major on the Premed track. She is graduating in the Class of 2021. Why did you choose to study Chemistry at Northeastern? My dad works as a chemist at Pfizer, so I have been exposed to the field of Chemistry since I was a child and I was always interested […]

If you’re looking to learn more about Bob Matz ‘62, you’re probably not going to find what you’re looking for here.  Bob would much rather spend his time talking about the student scholars in Northeastern’s Biotechnology Co-op Research Fellowship Program. Along with his wife Eileen, Bob has generously and proudly supported nearly 70 undergraduate students […]

Proteomics will revolutionize the medical and pharmaceutical fields. Professor Alexander Ivanov and his ongoing research will be a part of that revolution.

In soap lather, a combination of molecules assemble into bubble-like structures that trap viral matter and other biomaterials—grease, oil, dirt—and rinse them down the drain, says Thomas Gilbert, associate professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Northeastern.

Using the same techniques that help social media learn about you, Northeastern assistant professor Steven Lopez is training machine learning algorithms to find millions of new molecules to help make materials for cancer therapy, renewable energy, and other important technologies.

Northeastern’s Camille Martin, a former graduate student, and Leila Deravi, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology, are working to recreate a sun-blocking chemical that naturally occurs in cephalopods, a species that includes squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish. 

Northeastern hosted a symposium to recognize and commend the present and future research made possible by the technology alliance partnership

The Open Chemistry Collaborative in Diversity Equity held a survey that found Northeastern's chemistry department to be the most gender diverse!

Debra Auguste a professor of chemical engineering, designed a new way to target triple-negative breast cancer that simultaneously delivers a cancer-killing drug and interferes with the cancer’s ability to grow and spread.
