Chair's Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Maryland. The Department integrates the Biological Sciences with the Physical Sciences and Engineering in research and teaching. As the principal home for biophysics and biochemistry on campus, the department is the link to biology and bioengineering. As molecules are the basis for nanoscience, the department is an essential unit in the development of nanostructured materials and in the rise of nano-bio-science and technology on campus.

People in the Spotlight

Catherine Fenselau

Catherine Fenselau has conducted research in mass spectrometry and its applications in pharmacology for twenty-five years. Her current research program addresses the mechanisms by which cancer cells become resistant to anti-cancer drugs during treatment. Her group also works to make mass spectrometry a fieldable method for rapid identification of microorganisms. She is associate editor of Analytical Chemistry, a founding council member of the International Human Proteome Organization, founding President of U.S. HUPO, past president of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, and founding editor of Biomedical Mass Spectrometry (now Journal of Mass Spectrometry). Fenselau received the A.B. from Bryn Mawr College in and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.
