About the College of Chemical and Life Sciences

With some 3300 students, 125 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, and facilities in more than eight buildings on the College Park campus of the University of Maryland, the College of Chemical and Life Sciences has a lot going on. Our faculty and students are working on a broad array of research topics in the chemical and life sciences, including genomics, ecological sustainability, host-pathogen interactions, nanoscience and biomaterials, and sensory neuroscience.
