Clinical biochemistry and phytochemistry research are related fields that overlap in their exploration of chemical compounds, but with distinct focuses. Clinical biochemistry focuses on biochemical measurements in body fluids to diagnose and monitor diseases. Phytochemistry, on the other hand, investigates plant-derived chemical compounds, particularly their structure, function, and potential medicinal applications.
High quality research in synthetic methodologies, catalysis, functional organic molecules, organic synthesis, and more are also focused in the department.
