Welcome to the Department of Chemistry at the University of New Hampshire. We are dedicated to chemistry research and education at all levels. We have a long, proud tradition of providing a challenging and nurturing environment for our students.
Congratulations, Prof. Nathan Oldenhuis!
We are pleased to share that Assistant Professor Nate Oldenhuis has received the National Institutes of Health R35 Maximizing Investigators' Research Award! His project is entitled: Using DNA hydrogels to mimic, exploit, and fundamentally investigate extracellular matrices. His research program aims to demonstrate the broad utility of DNA-based hydrogels as ECM mimics applications in regenerative medicine and fundamental studies of biophysics. These hydrogels have the potential to revolutionize other fields, from tissue engineering to drug delivery, biosensing, and beyond. It is a rare accomplishment to win an NIH award and an NSF CAREER Award in such a short span of time. Bravo, Prof. Oldenhuis!
Current UNH Chemistry students talk about their experiences:
Tim Murphy speaks about his favorite parts of being a chemistry student at UNH!
CJ Wilson is a Ph.D. student studying here in the Chemistry Department. His research includes combating climate change with hybrid photocatalytic systems and electrocatalytic systems that turn elements such as sunlight or CO2 into clean fuel.
