Chair’s Greeting
Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at 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.
Lyle Isaacs and Jeffery Davis and Amar Flood (Indiana University) are co-organizers of the ISMSC-8
The International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry ( ISMSC-8) will be held July 7-11 2013 in Washington,
