The Department of Chemistry at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University was established in 2011 and has a strong body of academic staff members and multiple operational research and teaching laboratories. The fast development is both exciting and challenging.

Chemistry has been called a “central science” of the 21st century because it is the foundation of all of today’s frontier research, from nano-technology to computer chips, and from green energy to molecular biology. Our department’s research emphasis focusses mainly on chemical biology and advanced functional materials.
