The Chemical Physics Program at The University of Arizona provides an interdisciplinary track for cutting-edge research at the forefront of the interface of Physics and Chemistry.
At the scale of single molecules such as DNA, RNA, and molecular motors, research in our area focuses on issues in protein synthesis, such as how ribosomes move along mRNA.
Students participating in the program have a Home Program in either the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (CBC), or the Department of Pharmacology Toxicology.
