The Cambridge Chemistry Department consists of a large number of strong individual groups covering an extraordinary spectrum of science, centred on Chemistry, and ranging from Molecular Biology to Geophysics. 

The Department consists of over 70 academic staff, 110 support staff, 250 postgraduate students and 180 postdoctoral research workers who are supported from central funds or by grants from Research Councils, the European Union, industry, charities or other sources. 

Many of the academic staff, have been awarded medals or prizes, and we have 10 Fellows of the Royal Society active in research. 

Our strength is recognised by the award of the highest possible (5*) rating in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise.
